France will be under bit of a pressure as they will be without their star striker Paul Pogba.
So, it is a day filled with action, be here and hooked to catch all the latest action.
Two goal-line clearances and Saudi Arabia survive once again, they're determined to not let this one slip and this is going to be a massive, massive upset if they can pull this off. 8 minutes have been added with Argentina needing a hero, have they got one?
A headed effort from Messi is saved by the Saudi Arabian goalkeeper and that has been the case for them this whole game, they have failed to beat the opponent goalie from open play and this could come back to haunt them.
Wave after wave of Argentina attacks as Saudi Arabia have been pinned back in their own half, ever since Lionel Messi's side have gone behind, they have thrown the kitchen sink at the Saudi Arabian side but they have held firm. Let's see if Messi can bail out his side again?
Saudi Arabia have turned it around, what a comeback from them, Argentina had to the ball in the back of the net four times, three of them didn't count, and two goals from Saudi Arabia have turned it out as they lead against Argentina 2-1.
The second half between Argentina and Saudi Arabia begins, and it's a spectacular start as Saleh Alshehri scored a sublime goal to put the contest back on level pegging. Argentina scored four times, but three of those were ruled out through offside, how they'll be kicking themselves.
Argentina are leading 1-0 at half-time, it has been a half full of Argentine domination, they will be kicking themselves not having score more, but they did put the ball in the back of the net multiple times, but three of their goals were ruled out for offside.
Lionel Messi's Argentina have scored 4 goals already but three of them were ruled out for offside, one by Messi and two strikes from Martinez. The luck is clearly not on Argentina's side. They still lead 1-0 but that's a slender lead and the game could turn on it's head, so they will be looking for that insurance policy second goal.
Argentina thought they had doubled their lead, it has been a dominating display from Argentina who are running the show. A huge let-off for Saudi Arabia after Martinez puts the ball in the net but it won't count. Messi had also scored earlier that was also ruled out.
Argentina have taken the lead, and who else but Lionel Messi who becomes the first Argentine to score at four different World Cup finals, and gives his side the lead from the penalty kick. Saudi Arabia will be kicking themselves, but they have to keep their concentration.
So then Lionel Messi and Argentina's journey at FIFA World Cup 2022 begins, they are in their renowned blue and white kit for this match, attacking from left to right, while Saudi Arabia in their famed dark green shirts. Messi even has an early sight at goal but it's parried away by the goalie. It's going to be a long-night for him.
The teams is out and Messi does start indeed, and it's a strong-looking lineup from both teams. Here's how Argentina and Saudi Arabia are lining up:
Argentina (4-3-3): Martinez; Molina, Romero, Otamendi, Tagliafico; De Paul, Paredes, Gomez; Lionel Messi, Lisandro Martinez, Angel Di Maria
Saudi Arabia (4-3-3): Alowais; Abdulhamid, Altambakti, Albulaihi, Alshahrani; Kanno, Almalki, Alfaraj; Albrikan, Alshehri, Aldawsari
