A historic result for Saudi Arabia, a historic result for Asian and World Football as Lionel Messi's Argentina go down to Saudi Arabia in the group stage of the World Cup. Messi put Argentina ahead with a penalty but Saudi Arabia turned the game on its head with stunning goals from Salem Al-Dawsari and Salem Al-Shehri.
Salem-Al-Dawsari finds a gap with a through ball across the Argentina defence and he slots it home as the Saudi Arabian fans erupt in the stadium! A shocker of a result.
Saleh Alshehri scores with a quality finish from a tight anfle as Emiliano Martinez stands and watches as we are level here in Qatar!
Argentina might be leading in the half, thanks to a soft penalty call which was converted by Messi. However, Saudi Arabia's high line of defending has worked to perfection as Argentina had three goals flagged offside once by Messi and twice by Lautaro Martinez. All to play for Saudi Arabia in the next 45!
Al-Owais goes to his right as Messi goes left as Argentina are up 1-0 and the stadium goes wild!
