ARLINGTON, Texas - Daichi Kamada grabbed an 88th-minute equalizer to secure Japan a hard-fought 2-2 draw with the Netherlands in their opening World Cup clash on Sunday.

The Samurai Blue twice came from behind as Keito Nakamura canceled out Virgil van Dijk's opener before Crysencio Summerville restored the three-time runners-up's lead, all in the second half of the first Group F encounter in front of 69,285 at Dallas Stadium.
