I don't know where Argentina will get a goal at the moment.

Saudi Arabia's best player today is booked for a foul. Argentina does get disrupted a bit by it. The final minutes will have a big impact on any small gain.

This would rank in World Cup shocks.

Saudi Arabia are ranked 51 in the Fifa rankings. This is their 17th match at the World Cup. They’ve lost 11 of those, winning three and drawing two, conceding 39 and scoring 11. Their other wins came against Egypt in 2018 and Morocco and Belgium in 1994.

There will be a lot of time in World Cup history.

It can't always be Lionel Messi, other players have to step up, but you would have expected him to hit the target.

Lionel Messi is about to send it over the bar.

This could be Saudi Arabia's day. It is starting to feel like it.

There is a collision on the edge of the box and Argentina are given a free kick.

A man named Andy Cryer.

There is a sport in the country.

Guillem Balague, the author of the biography of Messi, is shaking his head in disbelief as he sits next to me.

He was asked what the reaction would be in Argentina. It was absolutely mad.

Around here, there is a sense of disbelief.

Saudi Arabia is looking to see what a huge shock might be.

Sultan Alganham came on to help with the opening goal.

Saudi Arabia would be happy with a draw.

There is an Argentina corner and a head over the bar.

As far as Saudi Arabia are concerned, another chance went and a few more precious minutes were eaten away.

Saudi Arabia's Mohammed Alowais came flying out of his area as Lautaro was able to beat the offside trap, but the Saudi Arabia goalkeeper's alertness paid off as he got to the ball first.

The Saudi Arabia fans applauded when the silence broke.

For the last 20 minutes, you will have training drills that are attack v defence.

The ball is put back into the area where Angel di Maria's near post shot is kept out, even though there wasn't much behind the effort.

Nicolas Tagliafico is replaced by Marcos Acuna.

Lionel Messi tried to slip in Nicolas Tagliafico but Saud Abdulhamid was there to cover the danger and give the corner.

There are twenty minutes left. Argentina has been without a loss since the beginning of the year.

The Argentina players are tired and sleepy.

In 17 World Cup matches, Saudi Arabia have scored two or more times. They've scored with both of their shots.
