Another disappointment for Benzema

The resumption of the Saudi championship did not allow Al-Ittihad to shine this Friday.

After two weeks of international break, the Saudi Pro League resumed its rights and Al-Ittihad was unable to win against Al-Ettifaq.

In Dammam, against Steven Gerrard’s players, Karim Benzema and his teammates were content with a 1-1 draw; the home team having found the fault first thanks to Georginio Wijnaldum.

KB9 let Abderrazak Hamed Allah equalize for the Jeddah club, which is definitely struggling to string together victories this season.

After 14 days, Al-Ittihad is 10 points behind leader Al-Hilal, who has a game in hand. Al-Ettifaq is seventh with two units less than its opponent of the day.
