After defeating heavyweight and two-time FIFA World Cup champions Argentina in the opening match earlier this week, Saudi Arabian Prince Mohammed Bin Salam Al Saud said that all Saudi Arabian football players will be awarded a Rolls Royce Phantom.
Saudi Arabia scored two goals against the South American team's one goal on Tuesday in Qatar, a shocker. Messi's men dominated the first half of the match, but Saudi Arabia scored a stunner equaliser through Saleh Al Shehri in the second half, followed by another by Salem Al Dawsari in the second half. Argentina has been unbeaten for three years and is one of the favourites to win the 2022 tournament, led by the soccer sensation Lionel Messi.
Saudi Arabia has won the opening match against Argentina, the first time that has ever won a match at the World Cup. It is their second win in the last five appearances. The squad defeated Egypt 2 -- 1 in the 2018 World Cup.
Prince Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud will present each of the players with the Rolls Royce Phantom when the team returns from Qatar, according to a report in UK-based Express. The current price for the Rolls Royce Phantom in India starts from Rs 8.99 crore and goes up to Rs 10.48 crore.
Ranked No. Argentina will take on Mexico in their next match on November 27th, which will be a must-win for the team, as it will be 3 in the FIFA rankings. Argentina is the only team without a single point in the group. If it wins against Mexico, Argentina can keep its hopes of qualifying in group 16 alive. Saudi Arabia, which is the top of Group C with 3 points, is in an advantageous position as a draw in this match will likely secure a spot in the knockout round.
