Karl Toko Ekambi delivered a standout performance for Al-Ettifaq, netting both goals in their commanding 2-0 victory over Al-Adalah in the Round of 32 of the King’s Cup.
The match took place at Abdullah Al Dabil Stadium on Monday, September 23, 2024. Ekambi opened the scoring in the 78th minute with a clinical finish and secured the win with a second goal deep into stoppage time at 90+4 minutes.
The 32-year-old striker played the full match, showcasing his fitness and attacking prowess with three shots, two of which were on target.
This match marked Ekambi’s first goal of the season after four appearances in the Saudi Pro League, where he had previously contributed just one assist. His brace was instrumental in propelling Al-Ettifaq into the Round of 16, as they aim to make a significant impact in this prestigious tournament.
Al-Ettifaq boasts a proud history in the King’s Cup, having lifted the trophy twice—in 1968 and 1985—while finishing as runners-up on four occasions. The club also made history as the first Saudi team to capture an international title, winning the Arab Club Champions Cup in 1984. However, silverware has been hard to come by in recent years, with their last major triumph being the first division title in 2015.
As they look ahead to this season, Al-Ettifaq is determined to reclaim domestic glory and compete for championship titles.
With Ekambi’s experience and attacking flair at their disposal, the team is optimistic about revitalizing their ambitions and making a mark in both domestic and international competitions. The excitement surrounding Ekambi’s contributions adds an extra layer of anticipation for fans as they rally behind their squad’s quest for success.
