Moroccan international, Abderrazak Hamdallah allowed Al Ittihad Jeddah to qualify for the semi-finals of the Saudi Arabian Cup. He scored a penalty against Al Taawon, using the legendary panenka in the 96th minute of play.

While the score was 1-1 between Al Ittihad and Al Taawon, this Monday, February 21, in the quarter-finals of the Saudi Arabian Cup, the referee awarded a penalty to Hamdallah and his teammates.

A godsend for the former Al Nassr player, who, with a shot without momentum or pressure, converted the penalty into a goal, thus giving the advantage to his club.
