Saudi Pro League, Pioli third -7 from the top: results and updated rankings

Today, the seventh day of the Saudi Pro League ended: Pioli and Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al Nassr are currently third in the standings, -7 behind leaders Al Hilal of Jorge Jesus. Al-Riyadh also achieved success today, but remains -4 from third place.

Yesterday’s results
After the victory obtained yesterday by Stefano Pioli’s Al Nassr (3 to 0 over Al Feiha), Al Ittihad responds to the leaders by winning 2 to 1 over Al-Qadisiya. Benzema’s lightning goal in the 7th minute was momentarily responded to by Aubameyang’s goal in the 20th minute. In the second half, however, Diaby in the 67th minute and Mitaj in the 81st minute took care of putting Blanc’s team back in the wake of that of the former Milan coach.
