The Saudi national team achieved a historic victory over its Argentine counterpart, with two goals to one, yesterday, in the first round of Group C matches for the 2022 World Cup, so that Al-Akhdar achieved the greatest victory in the history of Arab teams throughout their participation in the World Cup.

And the Saudi national team deserved the historic victory after turning the tables on “Tango”, which advanced in the first half with a goal without a response, scored by legend Lionel Messi from a penalty kick in the 10th minute, before the second half witnessed an exceptional performance from the “Al-Akhdar” men, who scored two goals through Saleh Al-Shehri. And Salem Al-Dosari in the 48th and 53rd minutes, as seven impressive factors led Saudi Arabia to achieve the most prominent victory in the history of the Arab teams’ participation in the World Cup.

The first factor is the wonderful preparations from the Saudi Football Association before the start of the World Cup and the great support that Al-Akhdar received at all levels, as the Football Association learned a lesson from the disappointment that occurred in the previous version, Russia 2018, when the team left the first round with two defeats to each of Russia And Uruguay and the victory over Egypt, while the federation focused in the preparations for the current version on relieving pressure on the players after the draw resulted in difficult confrontations against the most prominent candidate to win the title, Argentina, along with Mexico and Poland, and ensuring that the players enjoy playing the matches and presenting a level worthy of Saudi football. .

As for the second factor, it is the shrewdness of French coach Hervé Renard, who outperformed his Argentine counterpart Lionel Scaloni in all aspects in dealing with the course of the match, as despite advancing with an early goal in favor of “Tango”, Renard maintained the way Saudi Arabia played in the first half and was not granted “ Tango” had the opportunity to add the second goal to decide the match in his favor, before he surprised the world champion twice in the second half by scoring two goals in less than five minutes, and “Al-Akhdar” then maintained its progress and achieved a historic victory.

On the other hand, goalkeeper Mohammed Al Owais deserved the title of best player in the match after he presented the best levels throughout his participation with Al-Akhdar, as he dealt wonderfully with cross balls and acted as a defender in more than one ball in front of counter-attacks. As for the most prominent role, he blocked five chances. He only conceded a goal from a penalty kick.

On the other hand, the Saudi national team applied the “offside trap” method in an unprecedented way against the Argentine national team’s attack, whose players were offside 10 times throughout the match, including seven times in the first half, while the “Tango” participation in the 2018 World Cup witnessed the team’s players being offside. Six times throughout the tournament, during which he played four matches.

For his part, the defense line, led by Hassan Timbukti, Ali Al-Bulayhi and Saud Abdel Hamid, performed admirably against the Argentine stars led by Lionel Messi, Angel Di Maria and Lautaro Martinez.

As for the sixth factor, it is the strength of the midfield in front of his counterpart in Argentina, as Muhammad Kno, Salman Al-Faraj and Salem Al-Dosari excelled in giving Al-Akhdar the power to control the ball in many difficult times that the team was subjected to pressure from the "Tango" attack.

Finally, the Saudi national team provided a lesson to its Argentine counterpart in the accuracy of ending the attacks, after Al-Akhdar fired three balls towards goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez and scored two wonderful goals from them.
