Late Drama as Al-Qadisiyah FC Stun Al-Ahli Jeddah in Five-Goal Thriller
Al-Qadisiyah FC produced a stunning late comeback to edge Al-Ahli Jeddah 3-2 in a pulsating Pro League encounter at the Prince Saud bin Jalawi Stadium. Despite trailing 2-0 at halftime after goals from Ivan Toney and Firas Al-Buraikan, the hosts rallied with an inspired second-half performance, capped by two stoppage-time strikes to snatch all three points. The visitors looked in control for much of the match, but Al-Qadisiyah’s dominance in possession (64%) eventually told. Key substitutions and a relentless attacking push saw the home side claw their way back, with Julián Quiñones and Mateo Retegui both finding the net in the dying moments to complete a remarkable turnaround.

Their 4-3-3 setup allowed them to break quickly and exploit Al-Qadisiyah’s high line. However, they struggled to maintain control as the hosts mounted their comeback, conceding three goals in the final half hour. Despite a solid showing from Edouard Mendy in goal and Franck Kessié’s midfield presence, Al-Ahli’s defensive frailties and inability to manage the game late on proved costly.

Tactical Analysis
Al-Qadisiyah FC’s 3-5-2 formation focused on dominating midfield and controlling possession, with wing-backs pushing high to stretch Al-Ahli’s defensive line. The hosts’ patience in buildup was evident, but they initially struggled to penetrate Al-Ahli’s compact 4-3-3 setup. After halftime, Al-Qadisiyah increased their attacking width and tempo, committing more players forward and pressing higher up the pitch. Al-Ahli Jeddah’s strategy revolved around quick transitions and exploiting spaces behind Al-Qadisiyah’s back three. While effective in the first half, their inability to retain the ball and manage the tempo in the closing stages allowed Al-Qadisiyah to sustain pressure and ultimately overturn the deficit.
Turning Point
The equalizer by Julián Quiñones in stoppage time shifted momentum entirely, paving the way for Mateo Retegui’s dramatic winner seconds later.
