THE BIGGER PICTURE: Saudi Arabia had never won their opening game of a World Cup before, while Argentina entered as a contender to win the whole tournament. The result sees Group C thrown wide open, with Mexico and Poland now even more hopeful they can finish ahead of Lionel Messi and Co.
WHAT NEXT FOR ARGENTINA? The Albiceleste face Mexico on November 26 in what becomes a must-win game after Tuesday’s result.
