FOOTBALL fans have all been left saying the same thing after Saudi Arabia scored a screamer to take a shock lead against Argentina.
The South Americans went into the break 1-0 up thanks to a Lionel Messi penalty, but a quick-fire double including a stunner from Salem Al Dawasari saw the game turned on its head.

Al Dawasari, who plays for Al Halil in the Saudi Pro League, got on the ball on the left side of the penalty area and managed to bring it under his control despite pressure from the Argentine defence.
He then did a Cruyff turn before jinking past another defender and curling an effort into the far post beyond the grasping claw of Emiliano Martinez.
And fans have been left stunned by this sequence of events.
