Saudi Arabia Declares National Holiday To Celebrate World Cup Victory Over Argentina
Following its victory over Argentina at the ongoing Qatar 2022 World Cup, Saudi Arabia has declared a national holiday tomorrow.
According to Dailymail, all public and private employees and students in Saudi Arabia will have the day off on Wednesday after their national team beat Argentina 2-1 in one of the biggest shocks in World Cup history.
During the match, Saudi Arabia, the second-lowest ranked team in the tournament after Ghana, was down 1-0 by the 10th minute after Messi scored a penalty.
But Saudi Arabia threw caution to the wind at the start of the second half, charging at Argentina’s defense in front of a frenzied 88,012 crowd.
Saleh 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 and Messi looking utterly shell-shocked in the Group C opener.
