The Algerian midfielder once again proved decisive for his side, opening the scoring with a well-taken finish that ultimately secured all three points for Al Ittihad at home.
The goal also marked Aouar’s 13th in all competitions this season, underlining the influential role he has played since arriving in Saudi Arabian football.
Aouar delivers once again
In a tightly contested encounter, Al Ittihad needed a moment of quality to break down Damac’s resistance.
That moment arrived through Aouar, who continued his productive campaign by finding the back of the net during another important league fixture.
The Algerian international showed composure and attacking instinct to score the only goal of the match, allowing his side to maintain control of the contest.
His contribution once again highlighted his growing importance within the Al Ittihad squad during the closing stages of the season.
While the match itself remained tense for long periods, Aouar’s strike proved enough to separate the two teams and secure a valuable victory.
Strong season for the Algerian midfielder
Since joining Al Ittihad, Houssem Aouar has steadily established himself as one of the club’s most reliable attacking midfielders.
The former Lyon player has combined creativity with an increasing goal threat throughout the campaign.
His latest goal against Damac took his tally to 13 goals in all competitions, an impressive return for a midfielder.
The numbers also reflect his adaptation to the Saudi Pro League, where he has become one of the notable African performers this season.
Aouar’s ability to arrive in dangerous attacking positions has regularly provided Al Ittihad with an additional source of goals beyond the club’s traditional forwards.
Against Damac, that instinct again proved decisive.
Al Ittihad maintain momentum
The victory against Damac arrived during an important period of the Saudi Pro League season, with every point carrying increased significance in the closing rounds of the campaign.
Al Ittihad approached the fixture knowing a strong performance at home was necessary to maintain momentum.
Although Damac remained competitive throughout the match, the home side managed the encounter effectively after taking the lead.
Aouar’s goal gave Al Ittihad the control they needed, allowing them to protect their advantage despite pressure from the visitors.
The narrow margin reflected the competitive nature of the contest, but Al Ittihad ultimately succeeded in securing a hard-fought victory.
Aouar’s attacking influence growing
One of the major positives for Al Ittihad this season has been Aouar’s increasing attacking contribution.
Traditionally recognised for his technical qualities and midfield creativity, the Algerian has added more consistency in front of goal during the current campaign.
His movement between defensive lines and ability to support attacks have made him a difficult player for opponents to contain.
The midfielder’s performances have also strengthened his standing among Algerian supporters, particularly as he continues producing decisive moments at club level.
Each goal has further reinforced his reputation as a player capable of influencing important matches.
Confidence building ahead of final stretch
The latest victory provides another confidence boost for Al Ittihad as the Saudi Pro League season approaches its conclusion.
For Aouar personally, the performance against Damac continues a campaign that has seen him rediscover rhythm and consistency.
The midfielder has managed to combine technical quality with efficiency in the final third, something that has significantly increased his impact within the team.
His growing goal tally reflects not only individual confidence but also the trust placed in him by the coaching staff.
Against Damac, he once again justified that confidence with a decisive contribution.
Important role in Al Ittihad ambitions
As the season moves toward its final weeks, Aouar is increasingly emerging as one of Al Ittihad’s key figures.
His performances have regularly provided balance between midfield control and attacking penetration.
The Algerian’s latest goal ensured another positive evening for the club and demonstrated his continued importance during crucial matches.
With 13 goals already this season, Aouar continues to enjoy one of the most productive campaigns of his career.
If his current form continues, the midfielder could remain central to Al Ittihad’s ambitions until the final round of the Saudi Pro League season.
