Saleh Alshehri and Salem Aldawsari scored second-half goals as Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) caused a major upset by beating Argentina 2-1 in their FIFA World Cup Group C match in Qatar on Tuesday, reported Xinhua.
Lionel Messi gave Argentina the lead by converting a 10th-minute penalty before Alshehri and Aldawsari struck within five minutes after halftime in front of 88,000 fans at Lusail stadium.
The result ended the Albiceleste's unbeaten run of 36 matches dating back to the 2019 Copa America in Brazil, where they lost to the tournament hosts in the semifinals.
