Playing
against
heavyweights
Argentina,
Saudi
Arabia
would
have
hoped
to
walk
away
with
a
draw,
after
Lionel
Messi’s
penalty
put
Argentina
ahead.
But
the
game
turned
on
its
head
in
the
second
half,
with
Saudi
Arabia
scoring
twice
within
a
gap
of
five
minutes.
Not
only
did
they
cause
one
of
the
biggest
upsets
of
the
World
Cup,
defeating
Argentina
by
2-1,
they
also
ended
Argentina’s
36-game
unbeaten
run.
The
middle-eastern
country
honoured
the
team
with
a
national
holiday!
Following
their
majestic
win
on
Tuesday,
November
23
will
be
a
public
holiday
in
Saudi
Arabia.
The
Kingdom
of
Saudi
Arabia
announced
the
decision
on
Tuesday
(Nov.
22)
after
their
historic
win
in
the
FIFA
World
Cup
2022
in
Qatar.
After
Messi
put
Argentina
ahead
on
the
tenth
minute
following
a
penalty,
the
favourites
ended
the
first
half
with
a
1-1
lead.
But
the
game
turned
in
the
second
half
as
minnows
Saudi
Arabia
shocked
Argentina,
scoring
two
quick
goals.
Just
three
minutes
into
the
second
half,
Saleh
Alshehri
equalised
the
scores.
Within
five-minutes,
Salem
Aldawsari
found
the
back
of
the
net
as
Argentina
was
left
shocked.
Aldawsari’s
strike
was
the
winner
eventually
as
Argentina
failed
to
find
their
second.
Entering
the
contest
as
the
second
lowest-ranked
team,
after
Ghana,
the
win
was
one
for
the
history
books.
And
to
justify
the
magnitude
of
the
win,
the
entire
nation
will
celebrate
tomorrow
(Nov.
23)
with
a
national
holiday!
As
per
reports,
the
national
holiday
applies
to
students
and
to
all
employees
in
both
public
and
private
sectors.
The
Saudi
nations
win
over
the
World
Cup
favourites
at
the
Lusail
Stadium
in
Doha
will
be
considered
as
one
of
the
greatest
upsets
of
the
FIFA
World
Cups.
