Karim Benzema caused Cristiano Ronaldo to score a new goal with Al-Nassr, during the confrontation with Al-Ittihad in the Saudi League on Tuesday evening.
Al-Ittihad took the lead in the 14th minute through Abdel Razzaq Hamdallah, assisted by Karim Benzema, but Al-Nassr quickly succeeded in returning and adjusting through Ronaldo.
The story of Don's goal began with Benzema's return to carry out defensive duties, but the French international committed a mistake, as a result of which the match referee awarded a penalty kick to the visitors.
As is usual, Cristiano Ronaldo was the one who took the penalty kick, and he put it past Abdullah Al-Mayouf, announcing the adjustment for Al-Nassr.
This was Ronaldo's 18th goal this season in the Saudi League, thus continuing his top scorer standings and expanding the gap with the closest pursuer, Aleksandar Mitrovic, to two goals.
At the same time, the precious gift that Benzema gave to Ronaldo was extremely important for the Don, as it led him to goal No. 52 in 2023 at all levels.
Thus, Ronaldo, 38 years old, became equal in his goals this year with Harry Kane, the Bayern Munich striker, and Kylian Mbappe, the Paris Saint-Germain star, with 52 goals for each of them, but the opportunity still exists for the Don to take the lead if they score again in Al-Ittihad, or if they score. In the other remaining match for Al-Nassr this year.
