”It is difficult to understand because in 4-5 minutes, they scored both goals,” Scaloni told reporters. “I think they were the only shots on goal. There is no other choice but to get up. We don’t have to analyse more than that. It’s a sad day but head up and keep going. The first half was all ours.
At halftime, we said that the situation was strange. They are all in pain but wanting to turn the situation around. It’s about winning the following games and that’s where we’re at.”NYSC portal
Messi and his teammates will be rueing their missed chances. In the first half alone he and Lauturo Martinez had three goals disallowed between them, and in the second 45, heroics from Saudi Arabia’s goalkeeper, Mohammed Alowais ensured that his nation completed a historic win.JAMB portal
