Al Qadsiah’s away day against Al Kholood became a five-goal statement at the top of the table, with Julián Quiñones again at the centre of the visiting side’s attacking work. The Colombian-born Mexico international supplied an early assist and later converted a penalty as Al Qadsiah completed a 5-0 victory to move onto 19 points after eight rounds.
A commanding afternoon for the leaders
- Tijjani Reijnders opened the scoring in the fourth minute, giving Al Qadsiah an immediate foothold in the match.
- Quiñones then created the second goal nine minutes later, setting up Christopher Baah in the 13th minute.
- Musab Al Juwayr extended the advantage shortly before half-time, scoring in the 40th minute.
- Mateo Retegui added Al Qadsiah’s fourth goal in the 67th minute as the visitors maintained control after the interval.
- Late in the match, Mohammed Al Qahtani was fouled inside the penalty area. Quiñones took responsibility from the spot and drove a right-footed effort down the middle to make it 5-0.
Quiñones nearly had a second personal goal before the final whistle. From a central position in the box, he struck with his right foot and sent the ball narrowly beyond the right-hand post.
Quiñones shapes the attacking rhythm
The 5-0 result reinforced Al Qadsiah’s position at the summit, taking the club to 19 points from eight matches. Quiñones’ contribution — one assist and the final goal from the penalty spot — underlined his influence during a convincing display from a side enjoying a strong spell in Asian football.
