Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin At the 2022 FIFA World Cup, a little over two months ago, Saudi Arabia's Salem Al-Dawsari scored the goal that defeated Argentina in the opening game of Group C. Saudi Arabia didn’t pick up any more points in that group, and Argentina went on to win the tournament but the country, and Al-Dawsari, had their rare moment in the spotlight on football's global stage. Or maybe not so rare. At the latest FIFA Club World Cup, Saudi Arabian football is upsetting the odds once again and, once again, Al-Dawsari is the player scoring the goals to help it do so. In Tangier, Morroco, on Tuesday night Al-Dawsari’s cub side, Al-Hilal, knocked Brazilian giants Flamengo out of the Club World Cup.
