Even the best fall down sometimes. This was proven after Argentina were stunned by Saudi Arabia in their scintillating clash at the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
Dubbed as one of the greatest upsets in the history of the competition, Argentina campaign began with a seismic Group A defeat.
The Albiceleste, unbeaten in 36 matches over the past three years, drew the first blood after a successful 10th-minute penalty from captain Lionel Messi.
With the blue and white shirts scoring their first point, Argentina banked on their veterans to play like well-oiled machines.
Just minutes into the second half, Saudi Arabia scored a stunning equalizer through Saleh Al Shehri before Salem Al Dawsari doubled the lead for his side, courtesy of a brilliant solo goal.
Both Messi and Lautaro Martinez have seen multiple goals being denied by offside flags, thanks to Saudi Arabia for not letting the game go out of their hands at half-time, with Argentina being frustrated with the lack of clear chances while Saudi Arabia sailed to a memorable 2-1 win. IMT Sports
