BURAYDAH — Al-Qadsiah advanced to the semi-finals of the King’s Cup with an impressive 3-0 victory over hosts Al-Taawoun at Al-Raed Club Stadium in Buraydah.

The visiting team took control early in the first half, scoring twice in quick succession.

Gabonese forward Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang opened the scoring in the 34th minute, followed by a second goal from Spanish midfielder Cameron Puertas just two minutes later, giving Al-Qadsiah a commanding lead at halftime.

Julian Quiñones continued his prolific form in the tournament, adding a third goal shortly after the start of the second half, leaving Al-Taawoun with a daunting task.

Although Sultan Mandash found the net for the home side, the goal was ruled out for offside following a VAR review.

Al-Qadsiah’s emphatic performance sends them through to the semi-finals, demonstrating their determination to compete for the prestigious King’s Cup title.
