The games between Denmark and Tunisia as well as Mexico and Poland ended in nil-all draws at the FIFA World Cup.

However, Saudi Arabia caused the major upset of the tournament, beating Argentina 2-1 last night.

King Salman of Saudi Arabia has declared a public holiday for tomorrow to mark the national team's stunning upset.

The news is a feather in the cap of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, who recommended the royal order, state media said. Prince Mohammed was not seen at the match but had been front and centre at the tournament opening on Sunday.

Meanwhile, the game between Australia and defending champions Australia has started.

In other matches Morocco will face runner up, Croatia at 10pm tonight.
