    Argentina vs Saudi Arabia

    FULL-TIME, ARGENTINA 1-2 SAUDI ARABIA. What an absolutely astonishing game of football! Argentina totally dominated the first half and had the ball in the back of the next five times, but their 1-0 half-time lead was flipped into a 2-1 scoreline in a frantic five minutes shortly after the break. Two superbly taken opportunistic goals saw new life breathed into the Saudi Arabia side who then dominated the remaining half an hour of football. Argentina threw everything at them but the Saudi Arabian side seemed to evolve into a whole new team. It was breathless football, breathtaking, record-breaking.. and it's going to give all the other underdogs in this tournament the confidence to give it a go… and that's great news for fans. What a treat to share this with all of you, we hope you enjoyed the madness and drama and here's wishing you a great rest of your World Cup day!

    Argentina vs Saudi Arabia

    DRAMA! Argentina throw everything at Saudi Arabia, attacking from a free kick, open play and a cross into the box which the keeper clears but is bundled to the ground, Argentina kicking to the open goal but it's headed off the line by a defender! Sensational Saudi Arabia refuse to be beaten might read tomorrow's headlines. Al Owais is booked for demonstrating with the referee about not receiving protection from the referee!
