Salem Al-Dawsari’s strike against Argentina Five minutes after Saleh Al-Shehri scored the equalizer for Saudi Arabia against Argentina, Salem Al-Dawsari found himself surrounded by four Argentinian defenders in the penalty area, including Rodrigo De Paul and Parades. Saudi Arabia’s number 10 received the lofted pass, turned to avoid the defenders, and then tapped the ball just in front of him to curl it into the Argentina goal’s upper right corner.
Al-Dawsari became the second Saudi Arabian player to score at two World Cups with a goal, and a few days later, he scored against Mexico to tie Al-Jaber for third place with three World Cup goals.
The interesting direct free-kick objective by Chavez Requires success to meet all requirements for the Round of 16, Mexico confronted Saudi Arabi in their last gathering C experience.
Mexico received a free kick at the 35-yard mark after Henry Martin scored the team’s first goal in the match against Saudi Arabia. According to FIFA data, Chavez hit the ball with his left foot at 121.69 kilometers per hour, beating goalkeeper Mohammed Al-Owais to give Mexico a 2-0 lead. At the time, Mexico hoped to keep their World Cup record of reaching the Round of 16 every time since 1994.
But Saudi Arabia’s late goal cost them the spot to Poland on goal difference. Although Chavez’s precise strike was only his second World Cup goal from a free kick, many fans have ranked it among the tournament’s best. The excellence of Japanese striker Takuma Asano was what got the football world talking in the group E match, where Japan upset Germany, who had won four times, 2-1.
With nine minutes remaining in the game, the Asian giants won a free kick in their own half with the score at 1-1. Asano received the ball outside the penalty area when Itakura converted the free kick. Before scoring Japan’s second goal from a tight angle against German goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, he outmuscled German defender Schlotterbeck.
Mitch Duke of Australia gave a special celebration to the goal. Australia was hoping to win their first World Cup game in 12 years when they took on Tunisia in group D. Craig Goodwin sent a cross from the left flank in the 23rd minute, but the ball deflected off a Tunisian defender.
With a defender in front of him in the penalty area, the alert Duke headed the ball clear past the Tunisian goalkeeper, eliciting wild applause from the crowd. With his hands, the striker would celebrate in the shape of a J for his son Jaxson, who was also watching the game from the stands.
