At the start of the World Cup, Argentina lost its first match. Many thought that Argentina would routinely beat Saudi Arabia, but that did not happen.
Numerous comments and caricatures followed on social networks.
Saudi Arabia have beaten Argentina in what is one of the biggest results in World Cup history. The full Saudi squad players in the Saudi Pro League while the Argentinians play in the worlds top club sides. Big result for the Arab world. Some heroic defending by the Saudi players

What an incredible moment for Saudi Arabia and Salem Al-Dawsari. One of the great World Cup shocks. KSA end Argentinas 36-game unbeaten run with a stunning and fully deserved win.
