Saudi Arabia and Mexico faced off in their third matches of the 2022 FIFA World Cup. In the first half both teams struggled to score, but Mexico would come alive in the second half. Henry Martin scored in the 47th, and minutes later Luis Chavez sank a PK to give Mexico a 2-0 lead. Mexico was now tied with Poland in terms of goal differential. This would change when Saudi Arabia scored in stoppage time by way of Salem Al Dawsari in the 90’ +5’. Mexico would win 2-1 but were eliminated from the World Cup.
