Karim Benzema has finally unlocked his counter in the Saudi Pro League.
If he had already shaken the net 3 times in the Arab Cup of Champions Clubs, Karim Benzema had not yet scored in the Saudi Pro League. But it’s been done since this Thursday evening.
During Al-Ittihad’s big victory on Al-Riyadh’s lawn (0-4), the former Real Madrid striker scored the first goal of the game after 17 minutes of play.

The Ballon d’Or 2022 then left a penalty to his teammate Abderrazak Hamdallah, who transformed it before offering himself a double with a sublime bicycle.

Finally, the French offered a decisive pass to Saleh Al Amri at the very end of the match. The Jeddah Tigers thus continue their faultless in the league, with three victories in as many games played.
