Saudi Made An Impression Against Italy Last Night In A Pre-World Cup Friendly Despite The Result

Avatar

Although Saudi’s team lost 2-1 against Italy in the pre-World Cup friendly last night, many football fanatics seem to be really impressed with the team’s efforts. The match took place in Switzerland’s Saint Gallen, with General Sports Authority’s Chairman, Turki Al Shaikh, in attendance too. 

According to BBC, Mario Balotelli made his return to Italy’s team after a four-year-hiatus and won a solo goal against Saudi Arabia. Saudi’s first goal took place after Chelsea Davide Zappacosta gave away the ball, allowing Yahya Al Shehri to score.

People were pretty impressed with the Saudi team’s performance however…

Even non-Saudis showed lots of support for the Saudi team.

“Italy are being outplayed by Saudi Arabia”

“Had no idea what to expect from Italy vs Saudi Arabia. You know, Saudi Arabia isn’t terrible at all.”

“Saudi Arabia were better than Italy. Well done KSA, with this performance you’re capable of qualifying to the round of 16”

“Whatever’s final score…Saudi Arabia is playing such better than Italy. Congrats! “
