Al-Qadsiah secured a hard-fought 3–2 win over Al-Ahli in the Saudi Pro League on 8 September 2026 at Prince Mohammed bin Fahd Stadium in Dammam, moving up to second place in the table.
Tijjani Reijnders was the standout performer for the hosts, scoring twice. He opened the scoring in the 14th minute and added his second deep into first-half stoppage time in the 45+3rd minute. Mohammed Abu Al-Shamat was also on the scoresheet for Al-Qadsiah.
Al-Ahli responded through Ivan Toney, who netted both of the visitors' goals, but it was not enough to prevent defeat in Dammam.
The result lifted Al-Qadsiah into second place and narrowed the gap on league leaders Al-Hilal, keeping the team firmly in the title conversation this season.
For football fans across Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam and beyond, the early-season standings are shaping up to be unusually tight, promising a competitive campaign in one of the region's most-watched leagues.
