On September 14, Benzema scored a crucial knee goal in a match between Al Akhdoud and Al Ittihad. Initially, Al Ittihad struggled against Al Akhdoud’s deep-lying defense, and their midfield attacking style did not work well. Benzema only managed to grab attention with a curling shot in the first half, which was controlled by the goalkeeper with two touches. In the second half, Al Ittihad attacked more on the wings, with Romarinho causing trouble for Al Akhdoud with his technical moves. Finally, luck favored them when Benzema took advantage of an opportunity in the 72nd minute, marking his third goal in four matches at the Arab Champions Cup for Al Ittihad. The victory of Al Ittihad was largely due to the contribution of the midfielder duo Fabinho – N’Golo Kante, who helped them control the ball 62%. With 15 points after six rounds, Al Ittihad has returned to the lead and has only lost one match since the beginning of the tournament. Meanwhile, Ronaldo’s Al Nassr is ranked sixth with nine points after five matches.
