[SHOCK] Saudi shocks Argentina with a World Cup upset for the history books

Somehow, on a Tuesday afternoon that will live long past Tuesday evening, it turned out to be the abundant fans of Saudi Arabia, many of whom reached this first World Cup in the Arab world by driving, who unleashed an unforeseeable ruckus. They greeted whiplash goals by Saleh al-Shehri on 48 minutes and Salem al-Dawsari on 53 minutes that will sustain primo lodging in their memories. And from those you’re-kidding-me moments, they carried on singing and booming through all manner of Argentina threats until they exulted at a 2-1 win even they did not see coming.

“[Argentina] come here without losing any games in 36 games,” said Hervé Renard, the 54-year-old French manager of Saudi Arabia since 2019 who also managed Zambia, Angola, Ivory Coast and Morocco. “They are the South American champion (in the 2021 Copa America). They have amazing players. But this is football and sometimes things are completely crazy.”
