Jan 4 : Julian Quinones needed just 16 seconds to fire Al‑Qadsiah into an early lead in ‌their 4–0 victory over ‌struggling Al‑Riyadh on Sunday, netting the fastest goal in the Saudi Pro League since May 2021.

Al‑Qadsiah cruised to ⁠a resounding ‌win in Dammam, lifting ​their tally to 24 points and putting them ‍fifth in the standings, ⁠eight points behind leaders Al‑Hilal.
