Herve Renard’s men were stopped by

in their last World Cup qualifying game, and they entered the field to get back on winning track with a victory over Vietnam, but the home side wasn’t there to give up easily too as they were looking to pick their first points. Saudi Arabia had the chance to take the lead at the beginning of the game as Al Shehri headed the ball out when he was provided with a fine cross from Fahad Al Muwallad’s from the right.

It didn’t take long before Al Sheri made up for his mistake by finding the net in the 31st minute of the game with a beautiful pass from Al Muwallad, and Bui Tan Truong’s efforts weren’t enough to keep the ball off the goal. One goal was enough for Saudi Arabia to secure the three points and make their path shorter to Qatar World Cup.
