Saudi Arabia stun Argentina with inspired second-half performance

Al Jazeera  

In the first upset of the 2022 World Cup, Saudi Arabia take down the two-time champions 2-1. Saudi Arabia have shocked Argentina with two second-half goals to beat one of the pre-tournament favourites in their opening World Cup match, marking the first upset of the 2022 edition of the sport’s biggest event. If the first half had belonged to Argentina, it was Saudi Arabia’s moment to shine in the second as their fans celebrated in excitement — and possibly some disbelief — at Lusail Stadium. Mexico and Poland are the other teams apart from Argentina and Saudi Arabia in Group C. Argentina were the odds-on favourites to move to the next stage at the top of the group.
