Qatar 2022: Watch Saudi Arabia Fans Celebrate by Firing Guns, Breaking Doors After Beating Lionel Messi’s Team

• Saudi Arabia's shock win over Argentina in their opening game of the FIFA World Cup set in motion a series of crazy celebrations
• The Middle East country recorded a comeback win over the South Americans who are considered one of the favourites for the title
• It was a huge victory for the Middle East country whose football history doesn't even come close to that of La Albiceleste

Saudi Arabia fans celebrated their unprecedented, unthought of win over Argentina in very many crazy styles.

It is only understandable when a country with no known football heritage and ranked 51st by FIFA beats one of the title favourites with Lionel Messi, a seven-time Ballon d'Or winner in their ranks.

While residents of Rosario and Argentina remained crestfallen, it was a different case in Riyadh and the Lusail Stadium, as the Saudi Arabians were beyond themselves with joy.

In a series of unverified videos posted online, the fans were ecstatic after Herve Renard masterminded the historic comeback victory.

Renard's legacy in Africa is safe, having won two Africa Cup of Nations titles. It is also now safe in Saudi Arabia after that victory.

In one video, a fan was seen firing his rifle into the air after the final whistle, while another fan took the door of its hinges in the room where he and other people were watching the game.

Football does bring crazy emotions out of you and for the Saudis, this was beyond deserved.

The Green Falcons of Saudi Arabia stunned two-time world champions with a 2-1 comeback victory, in yet another iconic World Cup moment.

Lionel Messi put La Albiceleste in front after just 10 minutes, but three Argentina goals disallowed for offside, coupled with strikes from Saleh Al-Shehri and Salem Al-Dawsari in the space of five minutes, rendered his efforts void.

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that fans of Saudi Arabia at the Lusail Iconic Stadium could not believe their eyes, as the Green Falcons chalked one of the biggest upsets in the history of the World Cup.

Ranked as one of the favourites to go all the way in Qatar, Argentina were left floored by Saudi, who consigned Argentina to their first defeat in 36 matches.

Following Salem Al-Dawsari's golazo, which eventually turned out to be the winning goal, the Saudi section of the Lusail Stadium went into a state of pandemonium with their celebrations
