The first surprise of the Qatar 2022 World Cup happened on the initial date of Group C, with the victory of Saudi Arabia (2-1), with a comeback included, over Argentina, a team that is considered a candidate for the title. The result caused a lot of sadness among the fans of the ‘Albiceleste’ and a Brazilian fan did not hesitate to make fun of it.
The match for the squad led by Lionel Messi was played at the Lusail Iconic Stadium, a venue that was attended by 88,012 spectators in the stands. In the same way, there were fans who experienced the match in public areas in Buenos Aires, although there were also some visitors.
Precisely, after Salem Al Dawsari’s goal (53′), for Saudi Arabia’s 2-1 draw, a Brazilian fan decided to celebrate, despite being surrounded by a large number of Argentine people. Seeing that the goalkeeper Emiliano MartÃnez was surpassed, the ‘Canarinha’ supporter stood up and hid his laughter by raising his hand to his mouth.
An ‘Albiceleste’ fan noticed the provocative gesture and reprimanded the individual, although there were no major inconveniences. The surprise defeat complicates the options of the Argentine team towards the round of 16, but there are still two dates in the group to define the qualifiers.
