French star Karim Benzema has achieved a historic milestone after his goal contributions in Al-Ittihad's victory over Al-Ittifaq in the Saudi Roshan League. Benzema scored two goals in Al-Ittihad's 3-2 win over Al-Ittifaq in the match held in Jeddah. He assisted the first goal scored by Portuguese player Danilo Pereira, then scored the second goal himself, before Algerian player Hossam Awaar added the third goal for the Tigers. Benzema has now become the player with the most goal contributions for Al-Ittihad in a single season of the Saudi Professional League, with 27 goals. He has played 26 matches with Al-Ittihad this season, scoring 18 goals and providing 9 assists. Al-Ittihad is close to securing the Saudi league title after defeating Al-Ittifaq and widening the points gap at the top, taking advantage of Al-Hilal's draw against Al-Shabab. Al-Ittihad currently leads the Saudi Roshan League table with 68 points, 6 points ahead of second-placed Al-Hilal, with 5 rounds remaining in the competition.
