LUSAIL, Qatar, Nov 22 (Reuters) – Saudi Arabia took a shock 2-1 lead in the second half of their World Cup game against Lionel Messi’s Argentina with brilliant individual goals from Saleh Al-Shehri and Salem Al-Dawsari.

Al-Shehri squeezed in a low shot in the 48th minute while Al-Dawsari curled in a scorching strike from the edge of the penalty area in the 53rd minute to leave Argentina, one of the tournament favourites, looking shell-shocked.
