Full-time: Argentina 1-2 Saudi Arabia
A true World Cup shock that will go down in the annals of time, no one before kick-off unless maybe you were wearing green would have suspected this. Argentina will rue those several disallowed goals in the first half for offside.
The Green Falcons will have their keeper Al-Owais to thank you caught almost everything that came his way in this match. What a result, tournament officially blown wide open.

Who could have predicted this? Definitely not our AI predictor…
If our resident AI robot Kashef could feel human emotions, he would be hanging his head in shame right now.

Anxiety sets in amongst Argentina fans
Our reporter in the stadium:
“The stands with Argentina supporters no longer look as festive as they did before. There doesn’t seem to be much enthusiasm to uplift their team up, either. Just a lot of worried faces.
“An Argentinian child supporter was shown on the big screen biting her nails. The Saudis, on the other hand, are trying to get a massive wave started.”
