The 86-year-old monarch "orders that tomorrow, Wednesday, be a holiday for all employees in the public and private sectors, as well as male and female students at all educational levels", the Al-Ekhbariya channel said on Twitter. The Saudi Green Falcons bounced back from conceding an early Lionel Messi penalty to produce one of the greatest World Cup shocks thanks to a Saleh Al-Shehri equalizer and a sublime Salem Al-Dawsari winner at the Lusail Stadium in Doha.

Al-Ekhbariya posted pictures of King Salman's son, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, celebrating after watching the game with a group that included energy minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman.
