Benzema Sparks a Skirmish: The Fastest Red Card of the Saudi Pro League Shakes Al Khlood
French star Karim Benzema forces a dramatic moment as Al Ittihad faces Al Khlood in the Saudi Pro League. An early red card to Nigerian defender William Troost-Ekong sets the tone for a heated clash. Opta records confirm it was the season’s quickest dismissal. Ekong’s first red in 45 appearances for Al Khlood adds to a season already thick with discipline issues. The game underlines the league’s high-stakes drama and headline-grabbing incidents.
