French star Karim Benzema has etched his name into Al-Hilal’s record books by firing a dazzling hat-trick against Al-Khulud on Wednesday evening during Matchday 29 of the Saudi Roshen League.

The veteran French striker struck in the 9th, 31st and 45+5th minutes to complete his treble before the interval, capping a dominant first-half display.
