Adriana Scores Four as Al-Qadisiyah Thrash Al-Ahli 10-0

In Jeddah, Al-Qadisiyah’s flawless opening to the 2026/27 Saudi Women’s League took an emphatic turn on Saturday as the visitors swept Al-Ahli Jeddah aside 10-0. Brazilian forward Adriana was at the centre of the afternoon, scoring four times as her side made it five wins from five.

Adriana struck three times before the interval, finding the net in the eighth, 18th and 40th minutes, before completing her haul 20 minutes into the second half. Esther added two goals, while Lea, Almansury, Maram and Mariam each contributed one to a result that underlined Al-Qadisiyah’s growing authority at the top of the competition.

The club have collected all 15 available points and are still unbeaten this season. Their five league outings have produced 29 goals, with only one conceded, for a goal difference of plus 28.

The run began with a 1-0 win away to Al-Ula FC, followed by a 14-0 home victory over Al-Taraji. Al-Qadisiyah then won 2-1 at Al-Ittihad Jeddah, beat Neom SC 2-0, and have now added the ten-goal display against Al-Ahli.

Al-Qadisiyah set the pace

Al-Qadisiyah lead the Saudi Women’s League on 15 points. Al-Ittihad Jeddah and Al-Nassr are their nearest challengers on 12, followed by Al-Hilal with nine. Al-Ahli Jeddah and Neom SC have four points each, Al-Ula FC have three, and Al-Taraji remain without a point.

The next examination comes at home to Al-Hilal on 30 October, scheduled for 11:55, before a trip to Al-Nassr on 7 November at 11:30. Al-Qadisiyah then switch to cup duty on 13 November, when Al-Yarmouk visit for a Saudi Women’s Cup tie kicking off at 11:30.
