The world reels after the Qadsiah shock.

Recap

Al-Nassr endured another somber night, slipping to Al-Qadsiah 1-2, in a clash that pitted both sides against each other on Thursday night in Round 14 of the Saudi Pro League.

With this result, Al-Nassr's tally stalled at 31 points in second place, while Al-Qadsiah climbed to 27, moving temporarily into fourth.

The Qadsiah have extended the hoodoo on Al-Nassr, securing a fourth consecutive win against them; the streak began on February 18, 2021, when they won by a single goal.

They also prevailed in both legs of last season's fixtures, each time by 2-1.

Outlook

Bottom line: Qadsiah have underlined their edge over Al-Nassr, keeping the title race uncertain and reminding fans that football still loves a good surprise.

Punchline 1: If football were a stand-up, this match would steal the show—laughter, confetti, and a very tired scoreboard.

Punchline 2: The coach calls it a tactical nap; wake me when the scoreboard stops blinking.
