Al-Qadisiyah striker Julian Kenonis is looking to continue his impressive scoring record against Al-Kholoud in the Roshan League, aiming to compete strongly for the top scorer title and lead his team to victory.
Julian Quiñones continues his intensive preparations to lead Al-Qadisiyah's attack in their upcoming match against Al-Kholoud in the Saudi Professional League. All eyes are on the Mexican star, who has quickly established himself as a key player in the Eastern Province team's attack.
A terrifying scoring record against Al-Kholoud
