New game, another surprise. After Al Nassr’s surprising slowdown against Al Kholood, Al Ahli also struggled to secure victory. And in fact the biggest chances were generated by the opponents of Al Okhdood, who are in the bottom of the table. So much so that they took the lead first with Godwin’s goal at the end of the first half.
Only Mahrez’s strike allowed Kessié and his teammates to at least grab a 1-1 draw: a point for each side which moves the table, but puts Al Ahli far away from the top 3 of the Saudi Pro League. The crew of Pioli and Ronaldo are 7 points apart.
