Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has been named the recipient of the Goal of the Day award for the 11th round of the Saudi Pro League. The Gabonese striker’s outstanding diving header in the 50th minute helped Al-Qadsiah secure a thrilling 2-1 victory over Al-Nassr, shocking many by overcoming Cristiano Ronaldo’s team in their own backyard.
Aubameyang’s decisive goal followed a sublime acrobatic assist from Julián Quiñones, whose perfectly timed pass allowed the forward to finish with a clinical header.
The goal was a testament to the striker’s sharpness and aerial ability, which earned him recognition from Saudi Pro League fans who voted for the best strike of the day through the league’s social media channels.

After a slow start in Saudi Arabia, Aubameyang has found his rhythm, having scored five goals in his last seven matches.
The 35-year-old, currently under contract with Al-Qadsiah until 2026, has shown that he still possesses the lethal finishing ability that made him one of Africa’s most prolific forwards.
His recent performances confirm his status as a key player for the club, with the promise of more to come as the season progresses.
