Watch: Balotelli scores first UAE First Division goal for Al-Ittifaq
Mario Balotelli scored his first goal since 2024 when he found the back of the net last Friday for his new club Al-Ittifaq.
The UAE First Division club signed the Italian journeyman in January, after his contract expired with Genoa at the end of last season.
Al-Ittifaq have been struggling so far this season but the Italian scored the second of three goals as the team won 3-1 away at Gulf United.
The club will be hoping that the 35-year-old will score more as they hope to avoid relegation this season.
