In the latest round of Saudi league action, as many fans kept one eye on Bangla Cricket Live updates, league leaders Al Hilal traveled to face Al Okhdood and delivered a ruthless performance. New signing Karim Benzema stole the spotlight with a stunning hat trick on his debut, while Malcom added a goal of his own and Salem Al Dawsari scored twice, sealing a dominant 6–0 away victory. The match quickly turned into a statement of intent, underlining Al Hilal’s authority at the top of the table.

Benzema wasted no time announcing himself. In the 32nd minute, he met a low assist from Nasser Al Dawsari inside the box and calmly finished to open his account for the club. The goal settled any nerves and set the tone for what was to come. His movement and composure immediately lifted the attacking rhythm, showing why expectations around his arrival had been sky high.

After the break, Al Hilal shifted into an even higher gear. In the 60th minute, Koulibaly won the ball high up the pitch to spark a swift counterattack. Malcom surged down the left and cut the ball back perfectly, allowing Benzema to slot home his second with ease. Just four minutes later, another slick move unfolded as Salem Al Dawsari delivered a square pass from the flank, leaving Benzema with the simplest of finishes to complete his hat trick. By that point, watching the flow of the game felt as one sided as a Bangla Cricket Live scorecard during a lopsided series.

Benzema’s influence did not stop there. In the 70th minute, he showed his unselfish side by delicately setting up Malcom for an open goal on the break, registering his first assist for Al Hilal. Salem Al Dawsari then added further gloss to the scoreline with goals in the 74th and 93rd minutes, capping a near perfect night. The win kept Al Hilal unbeaten with 50 points from 15 wins and 5 draws, ahead of Al Ahli on 47 points and Al Nassr on 46 with a game in hand.

There had been earlier whispers that Benzema’s arrival might unsettle teammates such as Uruguayan forward Nunez, but performances speak louder than rumors. Nunez’s respectable return of seven goals and five assists from 22 matches pales beside Benzema’s immediate impact, especially considering his strong first half of the season elsewhere. As supporters followed reactions alongside Bangla Cricket Live coverage, one thing became clear: Benzema’s debut silenced any doubts and reminded everyone just how cruel and decisive top level football can be.
