Rodgers Hails 'Special' Derby Win

Brendan Rodgers praised his Al Qadsiah side's 'special' performance after a 4-0 derby victory over Al Ettifaq in the Eastern Derby.

Rodgers' Al Qadsiah extended their unbeaten run in the Roshn Saudi League to 14 matches with a commanding display. Goals from Nahitan Nandez, Christopher Bonsu Baah, Julian Quinones, and Julian Weigl secured local bragging rights.

Quinones' 22nd goal of the season moved him closer to the golden boot. Despite sitting just three points from the summit, Rodgers quashed title talk, focusing on his team's consistent attacking performance.
