Milestone night for Aouar
The Algerian star Houssem Aouar marked his 50th appearance for Al-Ittihad with a standout display against Al-Akhdoud.
Aouar opens scoring in a Roshn Pro League clash
Ahead of tonight’s match, the Jeddah club hosts Al-Akhdoud in Round 18 of the Roshn Saudi Pro League.
Aouar opened the scoring in the 13th minute, converting a fine strike after a pass from Frenchman N’Golo Kanté.
Before this game, he had 49 appearances for the club, with 17 goals and 5 assists.
Aouar was a key figure in last season’s double, helping Al-Ittihad win the Roshn Pro League and the King’s Cup.
His form has drawn comparisons with spells at Roma and Olympique Lyon, where he posted strong goal-scoring rates.
Punchline: If Aouar’s shots were taxes, the goalkeeper would still owe him money.
Punchline 2: My jokes miss more than my bets, but at least the net never blinks.
