Mexican Striker Surprises Cristiano Ronaldo & Ivan Toney to Claim Saudi Pro League Golden BootIn a shocking turn of events, Mexico international Julian Quinones of Al-Qadsiah has emerged as the unexpected winner of the Saudi Pro League Golden Boot. Quinones, who had a phenomenal final-day performance, surpassed the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo from Al-Nassr and Ivan Toney from Al-Ahli to clinch the prestigious award.
Quinones secured the top scorer title by delivering a standout performance in his team's final match against Al Ittihad, where he scored a remarkable hat-trick in a 5-1 victory. This stellar display brought his season tally to 33 goals, propelling him to the top of the goalscoring charts.
The Al-Qadsiah forward entered the decisive matchday trailing behind Toney, who led with 32 goals, and ahead of Ronaldo with 26 goals. However, Quinones' hat-trick in the final game proved to be the game-changer, allowing him to claim the Golden Boot with 33 goals.
This achievement is particularly impressive considering the high-caliber competition Quinones outperformed. By surpassing Ronaldo, who finished the season with 28 goals, and Toney, who secured 32 goals, Quinones has made a significant mark in the Saudi Pro League.
With the 2026 World Cup on the horizon, Quinones' timing for this individual accolade couldn't be better. His exceptional form in a league featuring top defensive talent positions him as a strong contender to lead Mexico's national team, El Tri, in the upcoming tournament.
