Saudi Arabia Pulled Off An All-Time Upset By Beating Argentina At The World Cup
Argentina’s opener at the 2022 World Cup was viewed as a formality, as one of the favorites to win the entire tournament had lowly Saudi Arabia on the schedule. After 90 minutes (and then a whole lot more for stoppage time), a hectic game led to an all-time upset, as Lionel Messi and co. found themselves at the bottom of Group C with a shocking 2-1 loss.

Early on, it looked like the Argentinians — which entered the game on a 36-match unbeaten run — would coast to a win. In the 10th minute of action, Lionel Messi stepped up to take a penalty kick and cooly beat Saudi Arabian GK Mohammed Alowais.
