In a historic match at the King Abdullah Sports City Stadium, Al-Ittihad delivered a thrilling 7-1 victory over Al-Wehda, showcasing their attacking prowess and sending a strong warning to rivals Al-Hilal. The game began with an impressive display from the nearly 50,000 spectators in attendance, who were treated to a historic Tifo. Led by Karim Benzema, who scored a hat-trick, and Moussa Diaby, who excelled in goal creation and assists, Al-Ittihad’s players put on a dazzling performance. New signing Steven Bergwijn also made a notable contribution to the team’s success. This win marks Al-Ittihad’s third consecutive victory, matching Al-Hilal’s points as they gear up for a highly anticipated clash next Saturday.

The scoring for Al-Ittihad started early in the match, with Karim Benzema finding the net in just the 2nd minute, followed by a goal from Houssem Aouar in the 13th minute. Despite a brief glimmer of hope for Al-Wehda with a goal from Iraqi Yusuf Al-Ameen in the 31st minute, Al-Ittihad responded quickly with a goal from Brazilian Fabinho just before halftime. In the second half, Benzema and Fawaz Al-Suqour added to the lead, with Diaby once again providing key assists. Substitute Saleh Al-Shehri scored his first goal for Al-Ittihad in the 87th minute, and Benzema completed the rout with his third goal of the game in the 89th minute.

This dominant performance by Al-Ittihad keeps them perfect after three rounds of the Saudi Pro League, setting the stage for an exciting showdown with Al-Hilal. Both teams secured wins in the third round, adding to the anticipation of their upcoming match. With Al-Ittihad’s strong attacking display and impressive form, they will be looking to maintain their winning streak and secure a crucial victory over Al-Hilal. The match promises to be a high-stakes affair, with both teams vying for the top spot in the league standings.

Karim Benzema’s hat-trick and stellar performance in the match solidified his status as a key player for Al-Ittihad, showcasing his goal-scoring prowess and skill on the pitch. His partnership with Steven Bergwijn and Moussa Diaby proved to be a formidable force, contributing to the team’s impressive victory over Al-Wehda. The seamless teamwork and coordination displayed by Al-Ittihad’s players were instrumental in their success, as they executed their attacking strategy with precision and flair. The team’s new signings, including Bergwijn, have quickly integrated into the squad and made an immediate impact, adding depth and quality to the roster.

The electrifying atmosphere at the King Abdullah Sports City Stadium added to the excitement of the derby match, as fans witnessed a historic performance from Al-Ittihad. The team’s emphatic win over Al-Wehda sent a clear message to their rivals and the rest of the league, establishing them as serious contenders for the championship title. With their strong start to the season and impressive display of talent, Al-Ittihad has set the bar high for their upcoming matches, including the highly anticipated showdown with Al-Hilal. As they continue their quest for success in the Saudi Pro League, Al-Ittihad will look to build on their momentum and maintain their winning form in the matches to come.
