Well, the Saudis rightfully won over Argentina itself! 2:1 is a fair result. And it’s hard to call it a sensation, judging by the nature of the match. We did not see any scoring chances from the vaunted Argentina at the opponent’s goal in the second half. But owning territory does not mean winning the match.
Both Saudi Arabia goals are beautiful, let’s face it. Let us highlight, first of all, the return goal. In a dense, somewhat harsh opposition, the Saudi player, in his fall, sent a “projectile” into the far corner farthest from the goalkeeper, brilliance! Then another shot to the top nine; the goalkeeper only touched the ball with his fingertips, but was unable to parry the blow.
Most importantly, the game itself of the Argentines, who were considered one of the tournament favorites, was disappointing. Even the wonderful Messi and Di Maria had almost no sharpness. And their rivals ahead are Mexico and Poland, they are more serious than Saudi Arabia. In short, the very exit from the group of the “star” Latin American team was suspended.
Yes, let the same Saudis come out with the Mexicans or Poles, why not? Argentina presented itself as a team that was exhausted and internally empty. I would like to believe that we were mistaken in our assessments and prospects of the wonderful Argentines. They will gain strength, draw conclusions, and delight us with an inspired game. It’s hard to believe, though…
