Houssem Aouar continues to have a significant impact during crucial matches with Al-Ittihad. Starting as a key player on the Asian stage, the Algerian international scored a magnificent header to bring his team back into the game.

Houssem Aouar was once again decisive for Al-Ittihad. This Monday, he started against Neftchi Fergana in Uzbekistan during the third matchday of the group stage of the AFC Elite Champions League, where the Algerian international equalized by finding the back of the net.

After going behind due to a penalty awarded to the Uzbeks in the 17th minute, Al-Ittihad responded thanks to Aouar. Taking advantage of a teammate's breakthrough into the box, he received a cross sent to the far post. The Algerian then rose up to place a superb header and scored the equalizer in the 34th minute.

This goal is crucial for a Saudi team seeking its first victory in this group stage. Al-Ittihad had previously recorded a draw against Al-Shamal (1-1), followed by a defeat to Shabab Al-Ahli (1-2).

Houssem Aouar also continues to confirm his excellent personal form. Before this match, he had 13 appearances, 2 goals, and 2 assists across all competitions this season. This new goal brings his total to 3 goals in 14 matches, along with two assists.
