Shocking victory for Saudi Arabia over Argentina
Prior to this, on Tuesday, unheralded Saudi Arabia pulled off one of the biggest upsets in World Cup history, defeating Lionel Messi’s Argentina 2-1 with a stunning second-half comeback.
Messi, at 35 years old, scored a penalty in the 10th minute during a dominant first half in which he and Lautaro Martinez had three goals disallowed for offside. This was Messi’s sixth and final attempt to win the one big prize that had eluded him.
However, Saudi Arabia, the tournament’s second-worst ranked squad after Ghana, showed little restraint as they stormed the field early in the second half to attack Argentina’s defense in front of a delirious crowd of 88,012.
Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman of Saudi Arabia bowed in thanks to Allah after his country’s surprising triumph.
