In the 34th round of the Saudi Professional League held in the early morning of May 12, Jeddah United defeated Feha 3-0, just one step away from the league championship this season. In this key battle, the team's number one star and French striker Benzema once again became the focus of the game.

In this game, Benze immediately scored twice and made the best contribution to the team. In the 24th minute, he calmly got rid of a defender's defense after receiving a pass in the penalty area, and a low shot pierced through the goalkeeper Moskela's ten fingers, helping the team open the first record.

Jeddah United failed to expand the score before the end of the first half. But after the change of sides, Benzema once again showed his style of a top scorer - he and his teammate Abd completed a subtle pass and cooperated with him, broke into the penalty area, calmly pushed the ball to 2-0.

In the 57th minute, Benzema was substituted due to physical discomfort, but the team's offense did not diminish. At the end of the game, Feha player Al Bawai scored an own goal and finally locked the score at 3-0.

With this victory, Jeddah United has basically secured the Saudi professional league championship this season in advance. As long as Riyadh Crescent loses to Oruba at home today, they will officially win the trophy.

It is worth mentioning that after Benzema scored two goals in this game, the total number of goals in the league this season has reached 21 goals, only two goals behind Cristiano Ronaldo in the scorer list. The latter currently plays for Riyadh and scores 23 goals.

In addition, Benzema also tied with Al Shabab's Hamdara (21 goals) and tied for second place in the scorer list. If Benzema wins the championship with the team in the end, it will become another important milestone in his career.

For Ronaldo, this is his second consecutive season missing the Saudi League championship. Despite its impressive personal data, the team's overall performance is unstable, which has once again failed to win the championship.

Jeddah United has a strong lineup this season. In addition to Benzema, it also has many stars such as Kante, Aval and Fabinho who have played in the five major European leagues. Their tactical system is becoming more mature and is one of the most competitive teams in Saudi Arabia.

Now, with the league championship coming soon, Benzema's career added another honor.
