Saudi Arabia Summary | 3 points – 4th place
The Arabs suffered an unfortunate defeat in this Saudi Arabia vs Mexico match. Although they looked solid at the back at the beginning of the game, it later turned out that it was really Mexico’s inaccuracy against Saudi Arabia as well as the absolute virtue of their goalkeeper Al-Owais.
The team coached by Hervé Renard focused on defense in the first quarter of the field, however, in one of their two shots on goal, they scored. It was a one-sided game and the Arabian side was inaccurate in their passing game.
Saudi Arabia lineup (4-3-3): Al-Owais, Sultan Alghannam, Ali Al-Bulayhi, Abdulelah Al-Amri, Ali Albulayhi, Mohammed Kanno, Saud Abdulhamid, Ali Alhassan, Salem Al-Dawsari, Saleh Alshehri, Feras Albrikan.
