Successful start for Benzema and Kanté

Al-Ittihad won on the field of Al-Raed (0-3) during the first day of the Saudi championship.

After playing in the Arab Cup of champion clubs, Karim Benzema and N’Golo Kanté made their debuts in the Saudi league with Al-Ittihad.

The defending champion club quietly won on Monday on the ground of Al-Raed (0-3). Benzema is behind the first goal, scored by Moroccan international Abderrazak Hamdallah (58th). And it is a strike from Kanté that comes the third goal, signed Coronado (79th), who had doubled the bet a little earlier with a nice shot (73rd).

At the same time, note the victory of Al-Hilal (the future club of Neymar) on the lawn of Abha (1-3), with a hat-trick from Malcom.
