About Argentina vs Saudi Arabia Match
The Argentine team had improved so much that many predicted they would win the tournament. When compared to the 2018 version of the team, which struggled mightily on defence in Russia, the 2019 edition is much more formidable.
However, the system didn’t appear to be able to adapt to the game situation, where their courageous opponents were making hard tackles. Since their opponents’ back line was so well-organized, the team’s biggest issue was getting the ball to Messi in the final third of the field.
Argentina had eight first-half offsides called against them, and the Saudis played their cards perfectly. In his postgame analysis, the captain said, “We knew that Saudi Arabia had good players, that they moved the ball well, and that they pushed the defensive line forwards a lot.”
“We completed the task, but we were pressed for time. Our fundamental nature calls for a return to our original selves. It’s time for us to make a plan of action.”
The Saudi victory over Argentina was the first major upset of the tournament. Thus, there is no longer any competition in Group C. Many people gave Argentina high odds of winning the tournament. They got on the board right away when Leandro Paredes was brought down and Lionel Messi converted the ensuing penalty kick. The opening goal looked to have put them in good position to win and keep their unbeaten streak alive, which would then reach 38 games.
Three times Lionel Scaloni’s team had their attempts at breaking the Saudi Arabian offside trap thwarted by the offside flag. They seemed helpless as their opponents scored twice in as many minutes after the half. Saleh Alshehri opened the scoring with a low left-footed shot into the far corner, and then Saleh Aldawsari scored a spectacular goal by dribbling to create space on the edge of the box and curling the ball in.
Was Argentina vs Saudi Arabia match fixed ?
There was a very less possibility that Argentina vs Saudi Arabia match was fixed. This was a bad day for Argentina against the tricky Saudi team. Messi and the team will have to calm down and sit to discuss about the future strategy leaving behind this game. Whereas Saudi’s are really happy and the ruler announced the holiday on Wednesday in public and private offices. The winners should also think to continue performing the way they did against argentina.
