Houssem Aouar strikes again as Al-Ittihad secure win over Al-Ettifaq
Houssem Aouar continued his strong run of form for Al-Ittihad on Thursday evening, scoring again to help his side to victory over Al-Ettifaq in the Saudi Pro League.
The Algerian international made an immediate impact in the match, opening the scoring in the third minute with a composed finish after being set up by Mario Mitaj. His early strike set the tone for another influential performance in midfield.
Aouar’s goal underlined his growing importance to the Saudi side, where he has become a consistent attacking presence since joining the club.
His ability to contribute in key moments has made him one of the standout performers in their campaign so far.
The midfielder’s latest strike means he has now registered 18 goal contributions across all competitions this season, comprising 14 goals and four assists.
His output reflects a sustained level of productivity rarely associated with a deeper midfield role.
The goal also extended his recent scoring streak, with Aouar finding the net in consecutive matches. His current form comes at a timely moment as attention turns toward upcoming international fixtures with Algeria.
Al-Ittihad continue to benefit from his influence in the final third, with his movement and finishing providing an added dimension to their attacking play.
His early goal against Al-Ettifaq once again highlighted his ability to make decisive contributions at crucial stages of matches.
With his performances continuing to draw attention, Aouar’s impact in Saudi Arabia remains a key feature of Al-Ittihad’s season as they push forward in the league campaign.
