Karim Benzema gave a great match, leading his team Al-Ittihad to achieve an important victory over Al-Ettifaq 4-0 in the 12th round of the Saudi League.
The French international appeared at the levels that fans have known him from at Real Madrid, as he scored a goal and made two of the “Dean’s” four goals.
In the 35th minute, Benzema gave a wonderful pass to N’Golo Kante, who shot the ball with force into the net, and with it the first goal for Al-Ittihad.
In the 53rd minute, Benzema scored the second goal himself, taking advantage of the ball rebounding from Al-Ettifaq’s goalkeeper.
As for the shot in which Benzema brought to mind the Real Madrid version, it was in his creation of the goal of the Dutchman Bergwijn in a more than wonderful way and with a touch that indicates the quality of the 35-year-old.
Thanks to this double, Benzema tied with Ronaldo in the number of goals in the Saudi League this season with 9 goals each, 3 goals behind the leader of the standings, Aleksandar Mitrovic.
With Benzema’s contributions, Al-Ittihad continued to lead the Saudi League standings and reached 33 points, temporarily 4 points ahead of Al-Hilal until it plays its match against Al-Shabab this evening.
We leave you with Benzema’s creativity..
