On Tuesday evening, Algerian international Houssem Aouar made his official debut for the new season, following his recent participation with the national team in the World Cup. In an impressive display, Al-Ittihad, the Saudi club he represents, secured a convincing 4-1 victory against the Emirati club Al-Jazeera in the preliminary round of the prestigious AFC Champions League.
Aouar, who plays as a midfielder, showcased his talent by scoring the third goal for his team in the 54th minute. This victory not only highlights Aouar's abilities on the field but also ensures that Al-Ittihad qualifies for the group stage of the AFC Champions League, which is set to commence in mid-September.
Al-Ittihad's triumph marks a continuation of the club's competitive spirit, especially after the wing player Riyad Mahrez and his team, Al-Ahli, clinched the championship title in the last two editions of this continental competition. As the season progresses, all eyes will be on Aouar and his contributions to Al-Ittihad's ambitions in both domestic and international competitions.
