Yesterday saw Groups C and D teams taking center stage at the ongoing 2022 Qatar World Cup.

Lusail Iconic Stadium was the first stop for fans at the tournament as Group C’s Argentina took to the pitch to play against Saudi Arabia. The latter won the match 2-1 courtesy of goal scored in quick succession by Saleh Al-Shehri and Salem Al-Dawsari. The two goals were a response to a first half penalty scored by Lionel Messi, Argentina striker.

Another group C match between Mexico versus Poland was played at Ras Abu Aboud stadium. The match ended in a 0-0 draw but Guillermo Ochoa, Mexico goalkeeper was the man of the match after pulling a fine penalty save denying Robert Lewandowski.

The fist match for group D was between Denmark and Tunisia, it was played at Education City Stadium. The teams fashioned their chances but in the end no one was able to put the ball behind the net and it ended in a goalless draw.

The defending champions France wrapped up the day as they played against Australia for the second group D match played at Al Janoub Stadium. Australia were off to a good start as they opened the scoring through Craig Goodwin and from there the defending champions started dominating the match as they went on to put four goals past Mathew Ryan, Australian goalkeeper.

The goals were scored by Adrien Rabiot, Kylian Mbappe and a brace from Oliver Giroud.

Today will see group E and F play their first matches.
