Salem Al-Dawsari | Argentina vs Saudi Arabia

In what is regarded as probably one of the biggest upsets in football's biggest stage, Saudi Arabia stunned favourites Argentina with a 2-1 victory. Though Argentina gained the lead from a Messi penalty, the underdogs turned it around in the second half.

Saudi Arabia grabbed an equaliser shortly after the second half, with a 48th-minute goal from Saleh Alshehri. But it was Al-Dawsari's long ranger that followed, that had people talking.

The Al-Hilal forward stunned the Argentina defence with a shot just inside the box, sending it to the top-right corner, leaving keeper Emiliano Martinez no chance, adding more woes to Messi and co.
