Saudi Arabia star taken off on stretcher as sickening collision leaves keeper distraught

Saudi Arabia goalkeeper Mohammed Al-Owais was left visibly distraught after a clash with team-mate Yasser Al-Shahrani during his country's World Cup clash with Argentina.

Al-Shahrani left the field on a stretcher after the collision, which took place during stoppage time in Qatar. Saudi Arabia pulled off a stunning victory in the match, coming from behind to beat the pre-tournament favourites 2-1.

Goalkeeper Al-Owais was one of his country's heroes in the shock victory, pulling off a number of saves including a stunning stop to deny Nicolas Tagliafico from point-blank range. He and his team-mates held their own in the closing stages to seal victory, with Al-Shahrani appearing to give the thumbs up as he left the field after his nasty-looking injury.
