Karim Benzema scored against his side this Thursday during Al-Ittihad’s match in the Asian Champions League.
Returning to play with Al-Ittihad four days ago, after two months spent away from the field and communication difficulties with his coach Marcelo Gallardo, Karim Benzema was also there this Thursday in the Asian Champions League.
Holder for this round of 16 return against Navbahor Namangan, the French striker found the fault but against his camp, with an unfortunate header in the area at the fall of an opposing free kick (0-1, 25e).
Decisive passer all the same
Fortunately, the Jeddah club was able to turn things around and qualify for the quarter-finals, by equalizing before the break through Hamdallah, on an assist from Benzema (1-1, 45e+6). Then taking the advantage on a new csc, this time signed Tabatadze against the Uzbeks (2-1, 87e).
A few minutes earlier, Benzema had scored but his goal was ruled out for offside (75e). This season at Al-Ittihad, KB9 has scored 13 goals in 21 outings.
