Saudi Arabia declares a national holiday for winning Argentina

Saudi Arabia has proclaimed tomorrow a national holiday after defeating Argentina in the ongoing Qatar 2022 World Cup.

All Saudi Arabian personnel, including those in the public and private sectors, as well as students, will be given the day off on Wednesday after their country’s national team defeated Argentina 2-1 in one of the biggest upsets in World Cup history.

Saudi Arabia, the second-lowest-ranked team in the competition after Ghana, fell behind 1-0 in the encounter after Messi converted a penalty in the 10th minute.

However, Saudi Arabia ignored caution at the opening of the second half and charged at Argentina’s defense in front of an enraged 88,012 spectators.

Al-Dawsari curled in a scorching shot from the edge of the penalty area in the 53rd minute, leaving Argentina and Messi in the Group C opener looking completely shell-shocked. Saleh Al-Shehri squeezed in a low shot in the 48th minute.
