Overview

• Al-Qadsiah won 2-1 at Al-Awwal Park, with Julián Quiñones capitalizing on a Nawaf Al Aqidi mistake before Nahitan Nández added a second.
• Cristiano Ronaldo converted a late penalty after a VAR-confirmed handball, but Al-Nassr could not find an equalizer in stoppage time.
• The result leaves Al-Nassr second in the Saudi Pro League, four points behind leaders Al-Hilal, who won earlier in the day.
• The loss extends Al-Nassr’s worst run of the season to three league matches without a win, halting the momentum from their opening 10-game streak.
• Brendan Rodgers’ Al-Qadsiah rose to fourth with the upset as Ronaldo urged resilience on X, while Al-Nassr next visit leaders Al-Hilal with the gap at four points.
