The phenomenal streak of Argentina national team without defeats stopped at the number 36. The Argentines fell short of the record of the Italians by just one match, and the team of Saudi Arabia was the one to stop "Albiceleste".

Messi put his in the lead at the start of today's game after a penalty, however Al-Shehri Saleh and Al-Dawsari managed to turn the match around at the start of the second half with their goals. Saudi Arabia was able to hold on to the winning score until a final whistle to record one of the biggest shocks in the history of World Cup.
