Julián Quiñones shone in Al-Qadisiya’s 2-1 victory over Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr in the Arab League. Quiñones scored a goal and assisted Aubameyang for the win, overshadowing the Portuguese star.
In Matchday 11 of the Arab League, Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr hosted the newly established Al-Qadisiya, featuring players like Nacho, Aubameyang, and Mexican naturalized star Julián Quiñones. Thanks to an outstanding performance by Quiñones, Al-Qadisiya secured the 2-1 victory against the yellow-clad team.
At Al-Awwal Park, both teams started attacking in search of a goal. The best early chance came for the home side when Abdulrahman Ghareeb had a clear shot at an open net after a deflected cross. However, he missed spectacularly, sending the ball over the bar.
By the 32nd minute, after Quiñones had narrowly missed a bicycle kick minutes earlier, Al-Nassr took the lead. Following a corner, the Al-Qadisiya goalkeeper failed to secure the ball, leaving a rebound that Cristiano Ronaldo tapped in for the first goal.
The visitors quickly responded five minutes later, in the 37th minute. Turki Al Ammar sent a high cross into the box, where Quiñones expertly controlled the ball with his chest, set himself up, and fired it through a crowd of defenders into the net, leveling the score.
The winning goal came in the second half. A deep cross to the far post found Quiñones, who acrobatically redirected the ball back into the box with a scissor kick. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang finished the play with a diving header to seal the 2-1 victory.
