It's tight on top after round two of the Longines FEI World Cup Final in Gothenburg. 

On a zero-penalty score after two rounds, is Eduardo Alvarez Aznar (ESP) who is followed by Peder Fredricsson (SWE) on one penalty. Steve Guerdat (SUI) sits third on two penalties, while Beezie Madden (USA), Niels Bruynseels (BEL), Martin Fuchs (SUI) and Olivier Philippaerts (BEL) all are tied in fourth on three penalties each – which means it is extremely close within the top seven as less than a rail separates these riders when they go into Sunday’s nail-biting last rounds. 

Jaroslaw Skrzyczyński (POL) sits 8th overall on four penalty points – just a rail behind the leader, Francois Mathy Jr. (BEL) sits 9th on five penalty points and Max Kühner (AUT) and Daniel Deusser (GER) are tied as 10th on a score of six penalty points each.
