Al-Ittihad's Algerian midfielder, Houssem Aouar, scored his first league goal of the season during the match against Al-Ettifaq in the 10th round of the Saudi Pro League. Aouar netted his team's second goal in the 53rd minute following an assist from teammate George Ilenikhena. This goal ends a 70-day scoring drought for the player, whose last goal was recorded on August 11 during the Asian Champions League qualifiers.
