Saudi Arabia National Team is set to get Rolls Royce Phantom each from the Crown Prince, Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud as an award following their 2-1 shocking victory against Argentina in the ongoing 2022 Qatar World Cup.

The New Diplomat reports Saudi Arabia had declared a national holiday a day after the victory to celebrate the stunning feat.

Argentina’s loss to Saudi Arabia drew lots of criticism amid claims that the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner, Lionel Messi, was seen in a sorry state after the embarrassing defeat.

Messi’s penalty in the first 10 minutes of the game saw the middle eastern team go into half time with a bleak finish in sight, however, Saudi Arabia turned the game around immediately after the second half resumed with Saleh Alshehri’s goal, 48′, leveling up with Argentina and Saleh Aldawsari’s 53rd minute winning goal.

Saudi Arabia are currently top of Group C, being the only team in the group to have won so far in the tournament with Mexico and Poland playing out goalless draws, leaving two-time winners Argentina bottom of the group.

It would be recalled that it is not the first time that a Rolls Royce would be awarded to a Saudi Arabian player.

In the 1994 tournament Saeed Al-Owairan received the luxury car after scoring the winning goal in a 1-0 victory against Belgium.
