First match and already a first goal for Karim Benzema in Al Hilal colors.

Just two days after his transfer was made official, Karim Benzema has already opened his account by scoring against Al-Okhdood, the second-to-last team in the Saudi league.

He broke the deadlock with a stunning backheel, making the most of excellent build-up play from his teammates inside the box. After a brief scramble, Benzema managed to flick the ball into the net and make an immediate impact.
