Algerian forward Yousri Bouzok strikes again as Al Raed draw with Al Ta’ee

Yousri Bouzok continued his fine form by finding the net for Al Raed in their 1-1 draw against Al Ta’ee in the Saudi second division.

The Algerian forward, who was recently called up as a backup to his national senior team, scored his second goal of the season to maintain Al Raed’s unbeaten start to the campaign.

The match, played in front of an animated crowd, saw Al Raed take control early on with Bouzok leading the attacking line.

His sharp movement and composure in the final third paid off midway through the first half when he clinically converted a low cross from the right flank, leaving the Al Ta’ee goalkeeper rooted to the spot.

Despite Al Raed’s dominance for large spells, Al Ta’ee responded strongly after the break.

A well-worked move in the 70th minute allowed them to level the score, ensuring both sides shared the points.

The result leaves Al Raed sitting in fifth place after four rounds, a promising position as they look to mount a serious promotion challenge.

Bouzok’s impact has been particularly noteworthy.

Since joining the Saudi second-tier club, the 26-year-old forward has emerged as one of the key figures in their attack.

His latest strike reflects both his consistency and the confidence gained from his recent involvement with the national team.

Al Raed’s unbeaten run has also been built on a solid defensive record and disciplined performances in midfield.

However, coach’s post-match comments hinted at a desire for greater ruthlessness in front of goal to turn draws into victories.

With the league still in its early stages, the draw against Al Ta’ee represents another step forward for Al Raed, who remain firmly in the hunt for promotion.

Bouzok’s form will undoubtedly be crucial to their ambitions as he continues to showcase his goal-scoring instincts and leadership on the pitch.

The club now turns its focus to the next fixture, hoping to convert their strong performances into maximum points.

For Bouzok, his second goal of the season serves as further proof of his growing influence in Saudi football and a timely reminder of his readiness for more opportunities at the international
