Benzema is validated

Al-Ittihad clearly dominated al-Hilal this Saturday in the shock of the 21e Day of Saudi Pro League (4-1). Thanks to Kadesh (29e), Bergwijn, twice (45e51e) and Benzema (86e), the Djeddah club has outlined its opponent.

The reigning champion had however opened the scoring by Marcos Leonardo (23e), but al-Hilal then multiplied the awkwardness, unable to find the framework of the cage defended by Rajkovic.

Al-Hilal loss of speed

Building on this success, KB9 and his teammates including Kanté, Aouar or Diaby are seven lengths ahead of their evening opponents and first pursuers, who only took two points in three days.

At 13 actions from the end of the championship, Al-Ittihad is therefore better to get out to win his 10e title of champion of Saudi Arabia.
