Saudi Arabia scored a stunning 2-1 win over Argentina on the third day of the FIFA World Cup in Qatar.

The Green Falcons, ranked outside the world's top 50 in the official rankings, looked almost down and out at the end of the first half of the Group C opener.

But they scored twice in five minutes at the beginning of the second half, sending Saudis in the 88,000-strong crowd at the Lusail Stadium into a frenzy.

Elsewhere, Tunisia were able to hold Denmark to a 0-0 draw at the Education City Stadium in Al Rayyan in the Group D opener.
