Keeper’s Hero Save Nets a Surprising Award in the Saudi Pro League Showdown
11 January 2026
Match Highlights
Koen Castels, the Belgian goalkeeper for Al Qadsiah, earned a special award after his stand-out performance in the home win against Al Nassr.
Al Qadsiah defeated Al Nassr 2-1 in Round 14 of the Saudi Pro League, extending their streak against the giants to a fourth consecutive victory.
Keeper of the Match
Castels' incredible stop against French forward Kingsley Coman prompted the league's official account to crown his save as the Save of the Round.
Beyond this moment, Castels has contributed to many of his side's positive results this season and last.
Looking Ahead
The Belgian international later suffered a knock in a clash with Angelo and was substituted, with Ahmed Al-Kassar stepping in as his replacement.
Al Nassr will face Al Hilal on Monday in Round 15 at Kingdom Arena.
Punchlines: That save was so clean the ball filed a complaint. Punchline 2: If goalkeeping were stand-up, he'd headline every stadium.
