Argentina have had salt rubbed in their wounds after it emerged that VAR made a remarkable error during their disastrous 2-1 defeat to Saudi Arabia.
Lionel Messi and Co were stunned in their World Cup opener, as Herve Renard's side came from behind to pull off one of the tournament's all-time greatest upsets. The talismanic Messi had put Argentina - one of the favourites to win the competition given their status as South American champions - ahead from the penalty spot after just 10 minutes, and there didn't seem to be any surprises on the horizon in Doha.
But spectacular second-half strikes from Saleh Al-Shehri and Saudi captain Salem Al-Dawsari within four minutes of one another turned Tuesday's David vs Goliath clash on its head. However, the Argentines could've been two goals clear long before half-time, as striker Lautaro Martinez had a 28th-minute goal ruled out for offside by VAR after the on-field linesman initially allowed it to stand.
