Karim Benzema was in great form this Saturday, during his Al-Ittihad team's match against Al-Ettifaq.
On behalf of the 12e day of the Saudi League, Al-Ittihad traveled this Saturday to the Al-Ettifaq field. It was only a formality for the Yellow and Black (4-0) and this thanks to the brilliant performance of Karim Benzema.
The former Madrid player had not scored against Al-Riyadh in the previous match. This time, he was able to find the net and he didn't just do that. He also provided two assists, including one for his compatriot N'Golo Kanté. Furthermore, he also had a goal disallowed for offside.
Benzema on his way
KB9 is much more effective this season
than it was during the previous campaign. In 9 championship matches played, he scored 9 times and provided three assists. A profitability that we have not seen since his departure from Madrid.
Despite his performance, Benzema is not yet the top scorer in the Saudi championship. He continues to be ahead of Aleksandr Mitrovic of Al-Hilal by two points.
