Houssem Aouar is making a powerful comeback with Al-Ittihad Jeddah. On Tuesday night, the Algerian international played a crucial role in his team's dominant 4-1 victory over Al-Sadd SC in the AFC Champions League Elite, finding the net within the opening minutes of a match that Al-Ittihad controlled from start to finish.

Aouar climbs to the top of the rankings

It took the former Lyon man just over ten minutes to shake the back of the net and bring his tally to six goals in the competition. This performance allows him to join his compatriot Adil Boulbina (Al-Duhail SC) at the top of the scorers' chart, confirming his newfound efficiency after recovering from injury. Since his return, Aouar has been in sensational form: 7 matches, 5 goals, and 1 assist across all competitions.
