LUSAIL, Qatar—Unheralded Saudi Arabia notched one of the biggest shocks in World Cup history on Tuesday, Nov. 22, with a 2–1 win over Lionel Messi’s Argentina thanks to a scintillating second-half come back.
On his fifth and final quest for the only major trophy to elude him, the 35-year-old Messi scored a 10th minute penalty in a dominant first-half display where he and Lautaro Martinez also had three goals disallowed for offside.
