I’m a Ballon d’Or winner! Benzema scores in Saudi Arabia goal storm for third consecutive game
No need to adapt. Last year’s Ballon d’Or winner Karim Benzema (36-Al Ittihad) has made an immediate impact since moving to Saudi Arabia. He scored a goal in the 2023 Arab Club Champions Cup 온라인카지노(ACC), which preceded the Saudi Arabian league’s regular season.
It was a strong debut. On July 28 (ET), he started the 2023 ACC Group A match against ES Tunis (Tunisia) and recorded one goal and one assist. He set up Abdelazak Hamdallah’s equalizer in the 35th minute with an exquisite cross, then scored the game-winner 10 minutes into the second half with an incredible right-footed curling kick. He came off the bench in the 26th minute to seal a 2-1 victory.
Three days later, he started the second group game against CS Spaxien (Tunisia). He played the entire game, proving that his fitness was not a problem. He scored again midway through the second half after the score remained 0-0. He scored the winning goal in the 28th minute of the second half to give his team their second straight win.
In the third group game against Al Shota (Iraq) on the third day, he came up with a midway point in the second half. He came on as a substitute in the 22nd minute. With the score tied 1-1, he scored again in the 39th minute. He converted the penalty to give Al Ittihad a 2-1 victory.
Benzema has been a force to be reckoned with in both the starting and substitute roles. His goal-scoring prowess was on full display, as he scored a series of game-winning goals and used his fantastic individual skills and lightning-quick footwork to exploit opposing defenders. He was all smiles as Al Ahly swept the group stage.
Al Ittihad advanced to the quarterfinals of the tournament as Group A leaders on the back of Benzema’s performance. They will face fellow Saudi club Al Hilal in the quarterfinals on Saturday. Al Hilal is led by Portuguese midfielder Ruben Neves, who played with Hwang at Wolverhampton Wanderers in the English Premier League. Benzema will be looking to score in his fourth consecutive game since arriving in Saudi Arabia.
