Although figures like Fabinho and N’Golo Kanté have arrived, Karim Benzema is the main star of Al Ittihad, which this Thursday faced Al Riyadh, for matchday 3 of the Saudi Arabian Professional League. With a goal and an assist from Benzema, the team led by Portuguese coach Nuno Santo won 4-0 and consolidated themselves in the first place of the table, with three consecutive victories.
The former Real Madrid striker was responsible for opening the scoring in the 16th minute. He started with the ball from before midfield, passed it to Romarinho on the edge of the opponent's area, he returned it, and the French goal scorer scored with a powerful right foot shot. It was an unstoppable shot.
