As the decisive passer twice for Karim Benzema, scorer of a hat-trick, and scorer for the third goal of the match, Corondo scored his fourth goal of the season and provided his fifth assist of the season, thus ending in a period of scarcity since August 28.

The meeting was of particular importance for Al-Ittihad, who had just parted ways with their coach, Nuno Espírito Santo, due to differences with the team. Ironically, it was in this first post-departure match of the Portuguese coach that the club recorded a convincing victory. Is this a simple coincidence or a sign of a promising new beginning for Al-Ittihad?

With this victory, Al-Ittihad now occupies fifth place in the standings, totaling 24 points. However, the path to the top remains demanding, trailing leader Al-Hilal by nine points.
