Late Araujo equalizer denies Saudi Arabia a winning start to World Cup

RIYADH: Egyptian fans were most certainly feeling a sense of deja vu as they watched Saudi Arabia take on Uruguay in their World Cup opener on Monday. Like Egypt had done a few hours earlier against Belgium, the Saudis took the lead in the first half. And like Egypt, they conceded after the break and were unable to hold on for what would have been an upset. Also like the Pharaohs, Saudi Arabia will feel they deserved more from the game, even if they would have gladly accepted a draw against one of the tournament’s strongest sides before kickoff.
