Marcelo Gallardo He debuted today as a coach in Al-Ittihad of Arabia Saudita with a 1-1 draw once morest Al-Ettifaq at home, on the 14th round of the Pro League.
The goal for the Muñeco team was scored by Hamdallah, 8 minutes into the second half, to tie the game at the Abdullah Al Dabil Stadium.
Al Ittihad now has 25 points in the competition, far from the leader Al Hilal (35) and Al Nassr (31). Those led by Gallardo will play once more on Monday and then will have three more games until their debut for the Club World Cup on December 12 once morest Auckland City of New Zealand.
The training arranged by the former River coach was: Marcelo Grohe; Muhannad Al-Shanqeeti, Luiz Filipe, Hassan Kadesh, Ahmed Bamasud; Suwailem Al-Menhali; Fabinho, Faisal Al-Ghamdi; Igor Coronado; Abderrazak Hamdallah and Karim Benzema.
Precisely, Benzema had the first clear in just 27 seconds but the rival defender Hendry drowned out the goal cry in the shot, with the goalkeeper already defeated, and led to the assumption of a good game from Gallardo’s team.
Al-Ittihad’s dominance did not translate into an initial advantage, even though Benzema repeatedly missed his clear chancesand in the first one that Al-Ettifaq had he put the first of the Saudi night.
Luckily, in order not to overshadow the beginning, Fabinho cut, assisted and Hamdallah nailed it up to establish equality between Gallardo’s team and Al-Ettifaq.
