Yassine Benzia, the Algerian football sensation, continues to dazzle on the pitch, delivering stellar performances for Qarabag FK. Following his remarkable double against South Africa while representing the Fennecs, Benzia showcased his talent once more in a thrilling match against Sabail, securing a 4-2 victory for his team.

In a display reminiscent of legendary Olympique Lyonnais player Juninho, Benzia demonstrated his prowess with a spectacular free kick.

From 35 meters out, he unleashed a powerful strike that rattled the bar before finding the back of the net, equalizing the score for his team. However, Benzia’s heroics didn’t end there.

In the 41st minute, he capitalized on a precise pass from his teammate, also named Juninho, to slot the ball home from the penalty spot, sealing victory for Qarabag FK.

Having joined Qarabag FK during the winter transfer window last season, Benzia has played a pivotal role in the team’s success, contributing to their recent triumph in the Azerbaijan Premyer Liga.

With an impressive 15 goals and 11 assists this season, including a dominant performance in the league, Benzia has emerged as a key asset for his team.

Qarabag FK’s success extends beyond the league, as they remain contenders in the Cup, set to face Neftchi in the second leg of the semi-finals after securing a commanding 4-0 victory in the first leg.

Benzia’s resurgence has not gone unnoticed, as his stellar form earned him a call-up to the national team during the March training camp under the guidance of new coach Vladimir Petkovic.

After a five-year absence, Benzia’s return to the Fennecs squad reaffirms his status as a top-tier talent in Algerian football.

As Benzia continues to showcase his skill and determination on the field, fans eagerly anticipate his future performances, with expectations running high for the gifted Algerian forward.
