He first opened the scoring with a well-taken header from a corner kick before adding another shortly after the break. The goals were both impressive strikes that showcased Benzema's clinical finishing skills.
The 34-year-old also played a key role in creating chances for his teammates, demonstrating his versatility as a forward and his ability to read the game. He was also praised for his work rate and his willingness to run behind the defense, which is something that fans have missed seeing from him over the years.
Al-Nassr coach,La Liga Frontline Paulo Sousa, was delighted with Benzema's performance and said that he was "very happy" with his return to the Saudi Professional League. He added that Benzema will be a great addition to their squad and that he can help them achieve success in the league this season.
Benzema's return to the Saudi Professional League marks a significant moment in his career, as it is his first time playing in the region since leaving Real Madrid in 2018. He had been heavily linked with a move back to Europe, but his decision to join Al-Nassr shows that he still has plenty left in the tank and that he is willing to give one last chance to prove himself at the highest level.
Overall, Benzema's stellar performance in his first Saudi Professional League match was a reminder of why he is one of the greatest strikers in football history. He showed why he is considered one of the best players in the world and why he deserves all the accolades he has received throughout his career. With his return to the Saudi Professional League, we can only expect more incredible performances from Benzema and Al-Nassr in the future.
