Qatar, November 22, 2022, Wednesday
No one will forget the major upset of the match between Saudi Arabia and Argentina in the Football World Cup in the Arab country of Qatar. Saudi Arabia defeated the highly ranked Argentina team 2-1. This incident has happened for the first time in the world of football. Before this, a total of 4 matches have been played between the two countries in which Argentina won 2 matches while 2 ended in a draw. On a positive note for Argentina, their captain Lionel Messi broke the record of Diego Maradona and Batistuta.
Maradona was the only talented player from Argentina who scored goals in the Football World Cup from 1982 to 1994. Lionel Messi became the highest goalscorer in four World Cups with a goal against Saudi Arabia. This is the fifth FIFA World Cup for the Argentinian player. He participated in the World Cup in 2006, 2010, 2014 and 2018. Became the first player to score in 4 different World Cups.
One thing to note is that Messi could not score a single goal in the 2010 World Cup. Messi scored a goal in the 10th minute in the match against Saudi Arabia. The team's account was opened by scoring a penalty. Messi has scored a total of 7 goals at the beginning of the World Cup and has joined the ranks of Brazil's Ronaldo. Despite Messi's goal, the team lost. Saudi Arabia's Saleh Alsehri scored in the 48th minute and Salem Aldawsari scored in the 53rd minute. With this defeat, the fans of the Argentinian team are in deep mourning.
