Julian Quinones needed just 16 seconds to give Al‑Qadsiah an early lead in their 4–0 win over struggling Al‑Riyadh on Sunday, marking the fastest goal in the Saudi Pro League since May 2021.


The Colombian-born forward’s strike was the quickest in the league since Moroccan winger Nordin Amrabat scored a 13‑second opener for Al‑Nassr against Al‑Faisaly in May 2021, according to Saudi broadcaster Thmanyah.


Al‑Qadsiah cruised to a convincing victory in Dammam, boosting their points tally to 24 and climbing to fifth place in the standings, eight points behind league leaders Al‑Hilal.
