Al Qadsiah edged out Al Ahli 3-2 in a five-goal thriller on Tuesday, securing a second-place finish in the Saudi Pro League table. New signing Tijjani Reijnders, a summer recruit from Manchester City, was instrumental in the match, scoring twice to help his team to a commanding lead at the interval. Al Ahli, however, was unable to find a leveller and suffered their third defeat of the season.

Al Qadsiah, who have won five of their first six matches, now join leaders Al Hilal on 15 points, maintaining their position as strong contenders for the title.
