As Al Ittihad defeated Al Hilal in the King’s Cup quarterfinals, Karim Benzema reminded everyone why he is one of the finest in the game.
After a 2-2 draw in regular time, the visitors won 3-1 in penalties, with the Ballon d’Or winner scoring both goals.
The goal that really won over supporters was the first one, which was scored in the 63rd minute.
With a vicious display of skill, Benzema left a defender on the ground after carrying the ball from the halfway line.
The Frenchman in the area calmly placed the ball past the goalkeeper after a brief exchange of passes.
