'A reminder of why we love football'
FT: Argentina 1-2 Saudi Arabia
Nedum Onuoha
Former Manchester City defender on BBC 5 Live
We saw an Argentina side that were pushing and pushing but Saudi Arabia were comfortable in the way they were defending.
At times we think football is predictable, and then things like that happens and you are reminded about why we love football.
As long as you are committed and take the opportunities you have, anything is possible.

That was a shadow of any Argentina team I have seen. They were a shadow today.

Argentina were poor in the second half. I thought they had a few more gears to go through.
Saudi Arabia put their bodies on the line. They were brilliant. They have a threat up front.
Argentina's defence lack a lot of pace, that is a problem.

Thumbs up for yes, thumbs down for no.

What a game. It was the best game in the tournament so far. It is fantastic.
First half, Saudi Arabia were nowhere it. They were by far the better team in the second half.
Argentina could have played all night and I don't think they would have scored.
Saudi Arabia thoroughly deserve it.

The Saudi Arabia fans lucky enough to be here to witness this will never forget the moment they beat Lionel Messi's Argentina.
One gets the feeling their celebrations will go on long into the night after a heroic second-half rearguard effort.
But what now for Argentina? Their fans seem completely stunned as they already start filing out in almost silence.
What a contrast to a couple of hours ago when the blue and white shirts were in party mode.
Incredible. One of the World Cup's biggest ever shocks.

Wonderful, incredible scenes of celebration on the pitch. Saudi Arabia players are hugging, smiling, crying.
They run to the wall of green and celebrate with their fans.
What a moment.

Argentina win another corner. Marcos Acuna sends the ball in, Saudi Arabia clear but the ball is played back into Julian Alvarez who looks certain to loop a header into the far corner but Mohammed Alowais makes another HUGE save!
Saudi Arabia are almost there!
