Meanwhile, Argentina's painful 2-1 loss to Saudi Arabia has been made even worse by the revelation that VAR committed a stunning error, Daily Mirror reported.

FIFA's cutting-edge technology quickly realised that Inter Milan star Martinez was just ahead of his defender when teammate Gomez sent him through, and the goal was disallowed.
