Anwar Ben Rhouma's fine scoring form for the Rojiblanca academy | OneFootball

Some first impressions stand out for their quality. Anwar Ben Rhouma was one of them, as from the very first ball he touched as a Rojiblanco with the U-21 side, he showed his ability as a footballer. Today, with six matches played in the 2026 Apertura, the forward already has 4 goals and confirms that his good form in front of goal is no coincidence.

His arrival at the Cantera Rojiblanca came in this tournament, and from Matchday 1 against Toluca he made his debut as a starter with the U-21s. In that first match he showed his explosiveness, speed, and eye for goal. With just 19 minutes on the pitch, he managed to score and open his account with Guadalajara.

From that point on, he earned the trust of Luis Arce, who has found in Anwar a player capable of delivering in important moments. Proof of that was his most recent performance against Pachuca on Matchday 6, when he scored a brace that helped the Rebaño draw and pick up two points against the Tuzos.

With the U-21s, Anwar has already logged 441 minutes, equivalent to 98% of the total available playing time across the six matches played.

His performances also opened the door for him with Tapatío. Ben Rhouma already had the opportunity to make his debut under José Meléndez, against Venados on Matchday 3 of the Liga de Expansión. In that match he appeared in the starting lineup and played 55 minutes.

His four goals and the experience he is beginning to gain reflect the impact he has made since his arrival. A start that speaks to his present and everything he can contribute to Guadalajara in AP26.
