Saudi Arabia stun Argentina in historic upset

Saudi Arabia stun Argentina in historic upset
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Saudi Arabia performed the first real miracle of the Qatar 2022 World Cup by defeating competition favourites Argentina.

Messi had opened the scoring just ten minutes in with a cool penalty, and as Argentina put the ball in the net three more times before the half time whistle – with every one being ruled out for off-side – it was looking like one-way traffic.

That said, it was a far from vintage performance from Argentina, ultimately punished when Saleh Al Shehri latched onto a long ball and lashed a left-foot shot into the far corner of Emi Martinez’ goal.

It was the moment in which the world held its breath.

As the ball was launched downfield, few onlookers would have predicted the devastation that Al Shehri would cause when he latched onto the ball.

Pushing the ball into the box, it appeared as though he had taken himself too wide to cause the defence any trouble. However, taken quickly and with electric sparking through every inch of the World Cup ball, the flashing shot was past the Argentina goalkeeper before he could blink.

While Saudi Arabia’s winner will justifiably grab the headlines, this was the goal that initiated lift off.
