Moroccan striker Abdel Razzaq Hamdallah scored a goal in his first appearance with Al Ittihad during a 2-1 victory over Al-Raed, consolidating the lead of his new team in the Saudi Professional League today, Friday.
Hamdallah joined Al-Ittihad after his departure from Al-Nasr after disputes between the two parties, and he hopes to help the "Brigadier" achieve the title after an absence of more than 10 years.
Hamdallah, the Saudi League's top scorer in two consecutive seasons between 2018 and 2020, opened the scoring with a header following Bruno Henrique's cross after just 21 minutes.
