Shocking audacity! Malcom steals goal from Benzema and denies the Frenchman a four-goal debut for Al-Hilal

Benzema was denied a four-goal haul due to Malcom's actions.

Details: In today's 21st round match of the Saudi Pro League, which marked Karim Benzema's debut for Al-Hilal, a bizarre incident took place.

Benzema had a sensational first game for Al-Hilal, racking up a hat-trick by the 65th minute against Al-Akhdood. In the 70th minute, the Frenchman was on the verge of netting his fourth, but his teammate Malcom swooped in and stole his goal.

After Benzema's shot, the keeper was already beaten and the ball was rolling straight into the net, but suddenly Malcom sprinted in and tapped the ball over the line, finishing off what was already a certain goal.

This incident could have been even more dramatic, as the assistant referee raised the flag for Malcom's offside, but the decision was later overturned and the goal stood.

Benzema's dazzling performance powered Al-Hilal to a 6-0 thrashing of Al-Akhdood, with Karim leaving the pitch in the 73rd minute having secured a hat-trick.

Reminder: A backheel masterpiece! Karim Benzema needs just 30 minutes to net first goal for Al-Hilal
