Argentina, parading Lionel Messi are ranked third in the world, while Saudi Arabia are 50 places away on 53rd.
Lionel Messi opened scoring for the South Americans from the penalty spot in the first half.
Saudi Arabia came into the second half a different team. Saleh Al Shehri equalised for the Arabians in the 48th minute. Five minutes later, Salam Al Dawsari made it two.
Saudi Arabia defended with their lives for the rest of the game to clinch a historic victory.
