- Benzema scored superb goal
- Mitrovic netted fantastic hat-trick
- Top of the table clash
WHAT HAPPENED? While Benzema scored an absolutely sensational goal, meeting a cross with an impudent flick, he was rather upstaged by ex-Fulham star Mitrovic. The Serbia international scored a sensational hat-trick, including a thunderbolt of a volley.
THE BIGGER PICTURE: Ittihad took the lead through Romarinho but Mitrovic levelled things up. Benzema and Abderrazak Hamdallah then made it 3-1, but two more strikes from Mitrovic made it 3-3, and Salem Aldawsari scored the winner for Hilal. It was a stirring comeback, and Hilal arenow top of the Pro League.
WHAT NEXT? Ittihad will face Al Akhdoud on Thursday; Hilal will play Al-Riyadh on Friday.
