Karim Benzema, the first own goal in his career

In just four minutes, the owner of the “Golden Ball” managed to score “performance” in both goals.

After opening the scoring in the 22nd minute with a header from Coronado’s cross, the French forward found himself in the wrong place in the 26th minute.

A corner kick from Al-Taawon Benzema deflected into his own net, hopelessly for Grohe. It was the first own goal in his entire career.

Without a win in three games, Al Ittihad are only third in Saudi Arabia, six points behind leaders Al Hilal.
