The 13th round of the Saudi Pro League ends here. After CR7’s sensational knockout in the direct clash with Benzema, today Al Hilal – still without Neymar – managed to win 3-2 over Al Raed from mid-table: personal signature of both former Roma summer target Marcos Leonardo and former Lazio midfielder Sergej Milinkovic Savic. In doing so they obtained three very important points which put them at -2 from leaders Al Ittihad.
Meanwhile Kessié – his last defeat dates back to last October 31st – and his Al Ahli have dropped the poker thanks to the former Roma player Ibanez together with two old acquaintances from the Premier League such as ‘Bobby’ Firmino and Mahrez. For the seventh positive useful result in a row, while the long-distance duel with Cristiano’s Al Nassr is engaged, only two points ahead.
The results
Al Hilal – Al Raed 3-2: El Berkaoui 7′, Milinković-Savić 42′, Sunbul 77′, Leonardo 87′, Albulayhi 90’+14
Al Taawon – Al Ahli 2-4: Pedro 21′, Barrow 23′, R. Ibañez 45’+8, F. Al-Buraikan 52′, R. Firmino 63′, Mahrez 73′
