The match between the Netherlands and Japan, at the World Cup, ended in a 2-2 draw in one of the most intense games of the group stage, with goals from Virgil van Dijk, Keito Nakamura, Crysencio Summerville and Daichi Kamada.
The decisive goal came at the end, in the 89th minute, but what caught the most attention again was not just the result on the field.
At the end of the match, Japanese fans maintained their well-known attitude of respect and organization, remaining in the AT&T Stadium stands to clean the space before leaving. Armed with gloves and garbage bags, they collected waste left in the venue, repeating a gesture that has become common in major international competitions.
The attitude was once again widely praised and is gaining prominence on social media, being seen as an example of civility and respect for the stadiums that host the tournament.
Shout out the Japanese fans! Respect
