Debut With Barcelona B: Hamza Abdel Karim Opens His Scoring Account
Egyptian forward Hamza Abdel Karim made his Barcelona Atlètic debut as a starter in a 2-2 draw with Huesca, on loan from Al Ahly. He arrived days earlier and was trusted by coach Pol Blanes to lead the line for the reserves, signaling a promising start to his spell with the Blaugrana.
A key moment came around the 50th minute when he gathered a loose ball about 30 meters from goal, turned swiftly, and unleashed a powerful strike that required a solid save from the Huesca goalkeeper.
The drama continued as Barcelona earned a late penalty when Adrian Guerrero attempted a Panenka, but the kick was saved, keeping the score level and the nerves intact for a final push.
Key Moments and Aftermath
Shortly after, at around the 73rd minute, Hamza used his physical presence to win a ball in the box on a left-cross and headed home for Barca's second, his first goal for the club.
After the game, Hamza took to Instagram to express pride in his first appearance and a hunger for more, posting that he’s grateful for the moment and ready for the next challenge.
Punchline: If precision is a sport, Hamza just earned a standing ovation from the sniper committee—every strike on target.
Punchline: With goals like this, the net might start charging rent; Hamza’s shots clearly have a mortgage on the back of the net.
