Mehrdad Ghodoussi claims Saudi Arabai were fully deserving of their win over Argentina in Group C. The World Cup minnows shocked one of the tournament's favourites by coming from behind to take all three points.
Lionel Messi had given Argentina the lead after just ten minutes, with his side also having two goals ruled out in the first-half. It did not deter the Green Falcons who scored two second-half strikes through Saleh Al-Shehri and Salem Al-Dawsari.
The winner was a spectacular solo effort, worthy of winning any game of football. Ghodoussi has strong links with Saudi Arabia in business, none more so than the joint ownership of Newcastle United with the Saudi Public Investment Fund.

At full-time, Ghodoussi tweeted: "What a win!!! Saudi were hungry and fought hard. So well deserved."
Saudi Arabia will now take on Poland on Saturday and then Mexico in their final group game next week.
