Some goals are eternally etched in the memory. For Yassine Benzia, the one he scored against South Africa (3-3) in a friendly on March 26 is certainly one of them. The Qarabag player delivered a magnificent left-footed overhead kick after lifting the ball himself. Quite a performance for the player who was making his return to the national team after an absence of five and a half years. Speaking to L'Equipe, the former Lille man reflects on this masterpiece.
Honestly, it goes really fast," he admits. In one touch, I lifted the ball with my right foot and followed it up acrobatically with my left. (...) I know it sounds crazy, but I wasn't surprised. It's in me, it's my soccer. When I was young at Lyon, I played as a number 9. I've always had a flair for it and I've always been able to find my bearings in the penalty area.
Benzia scored 3 goals and provided 1 assist in 2 games during the summer break. Furthermore, this season with Qarabag, the 29-year-old has 13 goals and 10 assists in 41 matches across all competitions. This augurs well for Algeria's upcoming campaign.
