WORLD SOCCER

FIFA WORLD CUP QATAR 2022 --- GROUP STAGE

DAY TWO

SAUDI ARABIA 2, ARGENTINA 1: In one of the biggest upsets in the history of the FIFA World Cup, Saleh Al-Shehri scored in the 47th minute and Mohammed Al-Owais scored five minutes later to send Saudi Arabia to a shock win over Argentina, the world's third-ranked team going into the tournament.

Lionel Messi, one of the world's best players, converted a 10th minute penalty kick to give the Albeceleste the lead at 1-0, but the two strikes from the Al-Suqour Al-Khodhur gave the Saudis the upset win.

DENMARK 0, TUNISIA 0: Andreas Cornelius hit the post with a hard shot and Denmark saw a late penalty kick appeal get turned down at the De Red-Hvide and the Carthage Eagles play the first goalless draw of the World Cup.

The chances were few and far between for both sides, but when they did occur, the goalies for both teams stood tall in the Group D match.

MEXICO 0, POLAND 0: Also in Group D, Mexico and Poland had great chances as well, but the result was the same between El Tri and the Orly --- a goalless draw.

The highlight of the match happened in the second half, when Guillermo Ochoa stopped Polish superstar Robert Lewandowski on a penalty kick to keep the match scoreless.

FRANCE 4, AUSTRALIA 1: Craig Goodwin's ninth-minute strike gave the Socceroos an early lead, but Les Bleus rallied on a brace (two goals) by Olivier Giroud to take the three points in both nation's opener in Group C.

Adrian Rabinot equalized for France, the defending champions, after 27 minutes, with Giroud's brace, coming in both the 32nd and 71st minutes, tying him for the all-time goal-scoring lead with Thierry Henry, with Kylian Mbappe scoring in between to give Les Bleus the win.
