The 2022 FIFA World Cup witnessed one of its greatest ever shocks as Saudi Arabia stunned Argentina 2-1 in Group C on November 22, 2022. Lionel Messi's early penalty was overturned by two sensational Saudi goals in a five-minute second-half spell. Messi put Argentina ahead from the spot in the 10th minute, but Saudi Arabia emerged from halftime transformed. Saleh Al-Shehri equalized in the 48th minute, and Salem Al-Dawsari scored a stunning winner just five minutes later. Argentina, among the tournament favorites, threw everything forward but were repeatedly caught offside by a disciplined Saudi high line. The historic victory for Saudi Arabia will be remembered as one of the biggest upsets in World Cup history.
