Saudia Arabia knows they have to be aggressive but they gave too many freekicks in close to the box and that is what cost them the penalty which gave the Argentine side an early lead. I learned there is a new tech in the ball that helps to detect offside quickly and easily. VAR is making this game pretty boring, and uninteresting. Saudi Arabia is gave them a tough time and since Messi's penalty, the Argentine side hasn't had any shot on target. First half was largely controlled by Argentina.
Until the second half, Argentina still quite dominated the game, the penalty in the first half made the Saudi Arabian players even more pressured, so that in the second half the coach from Saudi Arabia tried to play a little open and finally Saudi Arabia was able to take advantage of the opportunity when Argentina was cool to attack.
Two goals were created for a perfect victory for Saudi Arabia and the Asian country in this World Cup, because previously Qatar and Iran were really disappointing.
Half Time: Morocco (0) vs Croatia (0)
Both teams played to a goalless draw in the first half. There were several mistakes made by the Moroccan players in the first half which almost led to a goal for Croatia. In the 7th minute the throw-in came loose due to poor control, Kramaric almost made the mistake into a goal.
Then in the 16th minute the chance came from Perisic who almost scored when Hakimi made a wrong pass.
A good opportunity as well as a shoot on target for Croatia in the 45th minute or the last minute of the first half through Modric who took advantage of the rebound ball.
The second half has started, we will see what strategy the two coaches will do after in the first half they have found the weak points of their respective teams.
In the normal half-time of the first half, Croatia also had a chance to score a goal, but because goalkeeper Bono was quick enough to ward off the ball, a goal was not created for Croatia.
Entering the second half, Morocco began to attack a little, to be precise, in the 51st minute, they almost scored a goal, the game has been quite attractive since the second half took place, Bono has really become a strong wall for Morocco, so far he has made four good saves.
