Starting this Friday with Al-Ittihad, Karim Benzema was unable to spare his team yet another disappointment.
It’s starting to be worrying. Deprived of a victory in the league since September 21, Al-Ittihad has barely taken three points in five days in the Saudi Pro League.
This Friday as part of the 12e act of the Saudi elite, the Jeddah club lost on the lawn of Al-Shabab (1-0). Holder like Kanté, KB9 could do nothing about this setback.

Al-Ittihad’s black series is all the more unfortunate because ahead, Al-Hilal is not waiting. The championship leader won earlier in the day against Al-Fateh (0-2), and temporarily takes a seven-point lead over Al-Nassr. Al-Ittihad finding themselves 11 points from the top.
