Karim Benzema marked his Al-Ittihad debut with a stunning goal that gave his new club a 2-1 win in their first Arab Club Champions Cup match.
Benzema scored a genuinely superb goal against Tunis as the Saudi Arabian club won their first game of the tournament. With the score at 1-1 – and with the former Real Madrid star having already laid on an assist – Benzema took aim from the edge of the box and bent the ball into the top corner.
- Benzema was one of the first star players to head to Al-Ittihad, who have also signed N’Golo Kante and Jota this summer. The club have won the Arab Club Championship once, in 2004-05, and will hope to win a second this season.
