Diaspora, Africa – (African Boulevard News) – It was a disappointing league debut for Karim Benzema as Al Ittihad cruised past Al Raed with no goals from the star striker. The highly anticipated match ended in a 3-0 victory for Al Ittihad, with goals coming from other players on the team.
Benzema, who recently joined the Jeddah club from Real Madrid, was hoping to make a strong impression in his first league game. However, it was his teammates who stole the show. The opening goal was created by Benzema himself, as he assisted Abderrazak Hamdallah to put Al Ittihad ahead.
The third goal, which sealed the victory for Al Ittihad, was created by none other than N’Golo Kante. The former Chelsea midfielder showcased his skills and playmaking abilities, proving to be a valuable asset to the team. Benzema, on the other hand, struggled to find the back of the net despite several attempts.
While it is a disappointing start for Benzema, it is important to note that adjusting to a new team and league takes time. His experience and talent are undeniable, and it is only a matter of time before he starts finding the net regularly.
Fans and analysts have shared their opinions on Benzema’s debut performance. Football pundit, John Smith, commented, “It’s always a challenge for players to adapt to a new league, especially when expectations are high. Benzema is a world-class player, and I have no doubt that he will soon start scoring goals.”
The defeat against Al Ittihad serves as a wake-up call for Al Raed, who will need to regroup and work on their performance. The team was unable to capitalize on the opportunities created, and their defensive vulnerabilities were exposed.
Al Ittihad, on the other hand, can be pleased with their strong start to the season. The team displayed excellent teamwork, with players stepping up in the absence of Benzema’s goals. This victory will boost their confidence and set the tone for future matches.
Overall, while Benzema’s goalless debut may have disappointed some fans, it is important to remember that there is a long season ahead. The star striker will have plenty of opportunities to showcase his skills and make a significant impact on the team. With time and practice, fans can expect to see Benzema’s name on the scoresheet and his influence in Al Ittihad’s success.
