Karima Benzema scored on his debut for Al-Ittihad to help them beat ES Tunis in the Arab Club Champions Cup.
The 35-year-old striker joined the Saudi Pro League champions last month, signing a three-year deal after calling time on his career at Real Madrid.
He became the second big-name player, after Cristiano Ronaldo, to move to the Middle Eastern country with a host of other stars in Europe following suit since.
Al-Ittihad supporters got their first sight of Benzema as he started against Tunis with Jota, who joined from Celtic, also in the starting XI.
Nuno Espirito Santo’s side were tied 1-1 when the Frenchman cut in from the left and unleashed a curler from the edge of the box which found the top corner.
