ARLINGTON, Texas — Daichi Kamada and his Japanese teammates were minutes away from a World Cup-opening loss that wouldn’t have been unexpected considering the opponent. His tying goal will be remembered for a long time in his homeland, especially if the country with some soccer momentum reaches the round of 16 again. Kamada scored on a header off Koki Ogawa’s corner kick in the 88th minute, sending the Samurai Blue fans into a frenzy and giving Japan a 2-2 draw with the higher-ranked Netherlands on Sunday.
