Karim Benzema's sensational debut for Al Nassr, scoring crucial goals in Saudi Arabia
Karim Benzema made his debut for Al Nassr on Wednesday night and he did not disappoint. The French striker scored two important goals in the opening match against Al Ittihad, helping his new team to a 2-1 win.
Benzema was named the top scorer in France during the 2018 World Cup, but he has struggled to find form since then. He moved to Al Nassr last week after spending time at Real Madrid and Manchester United, but he showed that he still has what it takes to perform at the highest level when he stepped onto the pitch against Al Ittihad.
The first goal came early in the second half as Benzema collected a pass from his teammate and calmly slotted the ball into the back of the net. The second goal came just before the end of the game, with Benzema again receiving the ball and finishing off a well-worked move to give his team a comfortable lead.
Benzema's performances have been praised by both fans and critics alike, and he is already being compared to some of the best strikers in the world. His arrival at Al Nassr has added another strong option up front, and it will be interesting to see how he performs over the coming weeks and months.
