Youssef En-Nesyri did not wait long to make his mark in the colors of Al-Ittihad Club. At the King Abdullah Stadium (King Abdullah Sports City / Alinma Stadium) in Jeddah, the Moroccan striker made a resounding debut in the AFC Champions League Elite, scoring and providing an assist during the resounding victory against Al Gharafa (7-0) in the 7th match of 8 in the group stage (Group B).
An immediate impact: opening the scoring in the 3rd minute
The match turned right from the start. From a cross coming in from the right, En-Nesyri opened the scoring in less than three minutes, perfectly launching his evening… and his tally in the competition.
Then an assist for Aouar in the festival
Already sharp in his runs and precise in his lay-offs, the Moroccan international then transformed into a creator: in the 58th minute, he provided an assist for Houssem Aouar, symbolizing an Al-Ittihad completely in control of the game and heading towards a landslide victory.
Al-Ittihad’s demonstration at King Abdullah Stadium
Beyond the individual performance, the evening will be remembered as a collective demonstration: 7 goals, constant intensity, and clinical efficiency, in a venue that cheered every acceleration of the Yellow and Black. All this in a group stage context where every point counts as the final day approaches.
