Only, when Argentina defeated Poland with the same result, one goal was missing to guarantee qualification, as the Poles had an advantage in the tiebreak as they had fewer yellow cards, as they were equal in points and goals.
The selection led by Gerardo Martino went all out in attack in search of the third goal that would qualify them, they even celebrated but the goal was disallowed for offside.
However, the Saudis ended the Mexicans’ hopes when they scored their goal at 90’+5 by pushing back through Al-Dawsari at 90’+5.
