الهلال والاتحاد يتصدران المشهد الكروي في المملكة قبل مواجهة مصيرية

In an exciting and highly anticipated match in the Saudi Professional League, Al-Ittihad secured a crucial and hard-fought victory over their guest Al-Fateh with a score of 3-2, in the game that brought them together last night at the King Abdullah Sports City Stadium in Jeddah.

The French star Karim Benzema, who recently joined the ranks of Al-Ittihad coming from Real Madrid, was undoubtedly the star of the match, as he scored two brilliant goals that led his team to a valuable victory.

Benzema started the scoring in the 24th minute with a powerful shot from inside the penalty area, before adding the second goal in the 67th minute from a skillfully executed penalty kick. Despite Al-Fateh reducing the deficit with two consecutive goals through Giuliano and Rabi Al-Safiani, Al-Ittihad maintained their lead until the end.

This victory raised Al-Ittihad’s tally to 43 points in second place in the league table, three points behind the leader Al-Hilal, with a postponed match for the “Al-Imad.” Meanwhile, Al-Fateh’s tally remained at 28 points in eighth place.

Benzema expressed his happiness with the victory and scoring with his new team, confirming in his statements after the match: “I am very happy with the victory and shining with Al-Ittihad, we are still at the beginning of the road and our goal is to compete for the league title.”

On the other hand, Al-Ittihad’s coach Nuno Santo praised his team’s performance and Benzema in particular, adding: “Benzema is a world-class player, he delivered a great match and scored two decisive goals. We hope he continues his outstanding levels in the upcoming matches.”

It is worth mentioning that Benzema joined Al-Ittihad in a free transfer during the last summer transfer window, after the end of his contract with Real Madrid, with a contract extending for three years.

French star Karim Benzema has returned to Al-Ittihad after a long injury absence, participating in team training as the club prepares for the upcoming season phase. The former Real Madrid striker suffered an injury several weeks ago but is now ready to rejoin the squad.

In an unprecedented move that has caused a stir in the Saudi automotive market, a leading car company has launched an advanced protection package called “Let it Shine and Roar,” which is the PPF Package 5777. This new package is not just a protective layer for cars, but represents a radical shift in the concept of vehicle care in the Kingdom.

The PPF (Paint Protection Film) Package 5777 boasts several innovative features, including advanced nanotechnology that provides superior protection for the paint from scratches and minor impacts, as well as a self-healing property that allows the film to return to its original shape when exposed to light scratches. The package also features high resistance to ultraviolet rays, which helps maintain the car’s color for a longer period.

This launch comes at a time when the Saudi car market is experiencing rapid growth, with recent statistics indicating that the number of registered vehicles in the Kingdom has exceeded 12 million, with expectations of an 8% annual increase over the next five years. The PPF Package 5777 is expected to achieve great success in this growing market.

In his comment on this new package, the CEO of the manufacturing company said: “We are proud to offer this advanced technology to our customers in the Kingdom. We have designed this package specifically to meet the needs of Saudi drivers who care about keeping their cars in the best possible condition.”

Many automotive industry experts have expressed their admiration for this package, noting that it will revolutionize the way car owners think about protecting their vehicles. They also confirmed that this technology will contribute to maintaining the value of cars for a longer period, making it a smart investment for consumers.

On the other hand, a recent study conducted by a Saudi research center specializing in the automotive industry indicated that 78% of car owners in the Kingdom are very concerned about the appearance and condition of their cars, and that 65% of them are willing to pay extra amounts to obtain superior protection for their vehicles.

While car manufacturing companies continue to introduce advanced technologies to improve vehicle performance and safety, the PPF Package 5777 focuses on preserving the exterior appearance of the car, making it a valuable addition to the Saudi market.

In conclusion, the “Let it Shine and Roar” package represents an important step in the development of the automotive industry in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, reflecting the commitment of companies to provide innovative solutions that meet the needs and aspirations of Saudi consumers. This package is expected to have a significant impact on the car market in the Kingdom in the coming period.

Al-Hilal secured a thrilling 2-1 victory over their neighbor Al-Ittihad in a match held at King Fahd International Stadium in Riyadh, as part of the eighth round of the Roshn Saudi League for Professionals.

The match began with mutual attacking pressure from both teams. Al-Ittihad took the lead first through their Brazilian star Romarinho in the 23rd minute, following a precise pass from his teammate Abdulrahman Al-Aboud.

With this victory, Al-Hilal raised their tally to 19 points at the top of the league table, while Al-Ittihad’s tally remained at 14 points in fourth place.

French star Karim Benzema, Al-Ittihad’s striker, shone in the match that his team won against Al-Damk 3-1 in the ninth round of the Saudi Roshan League.

Benzema scored two wonderful goals in the match, raising his tally to 6 goals in only 7 matches he played with Al-Ittihad since his move to it in the summer of 2023, coming from Real Madrid.

After the match, Benzema said in press statements: “I am very happy with the team’s victory and scoring goals, but the most important thing is to achieve victories and collect points. We are heading in the right direction and our goal is to compete for the league title this season.”

Al-Ittihad occupies second place in the Saudi League standings with 20 points, only two points behind Al-Hilal in the lead.

Thus, Benzema continues his remarkable brilliance in the Saudi stadiums, as he previously won the award for the best player in the league for the month of September, and was also chosen in the ideal squad for the round.

These distinguished levels of Benzema come amid the fierce competition witnessed by Saudi football, which attracted many global stars such as Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo and Brazilian Neymar.

Observers believe that Benzema has become one of the most prominent stars of the Saudi League, and that his level will undoubtedly contribute to raising the shares of the competition locally and globally, and increase its attractiveness in light of the great ambitions that Saudi Arabia seeks to achieve in the field of sports.

Undoubtedly, the eyes will be directed towards Benzema and his teammates at Al-Ittihad in the next stage, especially with the approach of the Asian Champions League matches, where the team will try to go far in the continental tournament and achieve a historic achievement for Saudi football.
