Julián Quiñones celebra tras anotar con Al-Qadisiya | X: @AlQadsiahEN
The Mexican forward continues his impressive form, now with 26 goals across all competitions this season.
Julián Quiñones is on fire in the Saudi Pro League, bolstering his chances of a spot in Javier Aguirre’s final roster for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The Al-Qadisiya striker found the back of the net again on February 23, 2026, in a dominant 4-0 victory over Al-Ettifaq.
Quiñones scored the third goal of the match in the 90+2nd minute, capitalizing on a rebound after a save by Al-Ettifaq’s goalkeeper, Marek Rodák. The play developed from a cross by Yasir Al-Shahrani, initially saved but falling perfectly for Quiñones to finish.
With this latest goal, Quiñones has now tallied 22 goals in just 20 Saudi Pro League appearances. He’s been in sensational form, scoring 18 goals in his last 13 matches, including two hat-tricks and a brace. This performance puts him ahead of Cristiano Ronaldo, who has 20 goals, and just one behind league leader Ivan Toney.
Al-Qadisiya controlled the match from the start, with Nahitan Nández opening the scoring in the 3rd minute with a header from a corner kick. Christopher Bonsu Baah doubled the lead just four minutes later. The team maintained 60% possession and recorded 20 total shots, with 10 on target. A late red card to Abdullah Al-Khateeb in the 80th minute sealed the victory. Julian Weigl added a fourth goal in stoppage time to complete the rout.
Mexico now boasts a wealth of attacking options heading into the World Cup, with Raúl Jiménez, Julián Quiñones, Germán Berterame, and Armando "Hormiga" González all in contention, alongside the expected return of Santiago Gimenez. The competition for spots is fierce, but Quiñones’ current form and versatility are making a strong case for his inclusion in the squad. https://www.telemundo.com/deportes/copa-mundial-de-la-fifa-2026/julian-quinones-vuelve-a-anotar-con-al-qadisiya-y-esta-a-un-gol-del-li-rcna260347 https://www.record.com.mx/historia/uno-mas-julian-quinones-marca-gol-en-victoria-de-al-qadisiya-ante-al-ettifaq-2026022321273893216 https://www.diariodemexico.com/arena-deportiva/julian-quinones-anota-y-supera-a-cristiano-en-la-saudi-pro-league
