Full World Cup match schedule
Among the competition favourites, Argentina lost to a courageous team from Saudi Arabia.
Lionel Messi had yet opened the scoring from the penalty spot (10th, 1-0).
The Argentinians then clearly dominated the first period.
Lautaro Martinez could even have made the score worse, but his goal was canceled for an offside position (29th, 1-0).
Situation reversal
Upon returning from the locker room, everything changed.
In precisely five minutes.
Al Shehri first reduced the mark with a shot that came into Martinez's side netting (48th, 1-1).
No time to breathe, the Green Falcons, encouraged by their fans on fire, took the lead thanks to a superb curling shot from Al Dawsari (53rd, 1-2).
Messi and his teammates then pushed, without managing to equalise.
The Argentinians, who still have to face Mexico and Poland, already have almost no room for error.
