Kenonis leads Al-Qadisiyah to victory over Al-Akhdoud with a historic hat-trick
Mexican star Julian Quiñones, the striker for Al-Qadisiyah FC in Saudi Arabia, continued his exceptional performances in the Saudi Professional League, cementing his status as one of the most successful signings of the season. Quiñones capped his brilliance with a historic hat-trick against Al-Akhdoud, leading his team to a resounding 4-2 victory and earning the Man of the Match award for the tenth time – a record that reflects his complete dominance of individual accolades in recent rounds.
The impact of Kinonis and the new Qadisiyah project
Quinones' brilliance is part of the remarkable resurgence of Al-Qadisiyah FC, which has made a strong return to the top flight, backed by a massive investment project under the umbrella of Saudi Aramco. The striker, who arrived from the Mexican league, has demonstrated an astonishingly quick adaptation to the Saudi environment, reaching 21 goals and competing with the league's top scorers. This performance not only reflects the player's individual skill but also highlights the success of Al-Qadisiyah's attacking system in creating opportunities and converting them into decisive goals.
Details of the confrontation and the winning streak
In terms of results, Al-Qadisiyah strengthened their position in the top four, raising their points tally to 50 and securing fourth place. This match holds particular significance as it broke their scoring drought against Al-Akhdoud, a team that had previously struggled to find the net against this opponent both this season and last. The four goals served to highlight the team's potent attacking force as they enter the final and crucial stages of the league.
Coach's statements and preparations for the derby
In the post-match press conference, Al-Qadisiyah's head coach praised the players' heroic performance, noting that the victory was the result of excellent teamwork. He particularly commended Kenonis's individual brilliance, as well as the pivotal role played by the returning Otavio, whose decisive passes helped break down the opposition's defense. The coach emphasized that the team controlled the game and created numerous chances that could have resulted in a higher goal tally.
All eyes are now on the highly anticipated match next Monday evening, as Al-Qadisiyah prepares to face its neighbor, Al-Ettifaq, in the exciting "Eastern Province Derby." This match represents a true test of Al-Qadisiyah's ambitions to maintain its position qualifying for continental competitions and to reaffirm its regional dominance in the Eastern Province, relying on the prolific goal-scoring form of striker Kenonis.
