André Carrillo has made his mark during the 2024/25 pre-season by scoring his first goal for Al-Qadisiyah. This goal came at an opportune moment, helping his team secure a 2-0 victory over Al-Rayyan Club in Venlo, Netherlands, as they prepare for their official debut in the Saudi Professional League.
The action unfolded around the 55th minute when Carrillo, known as ‘Culebra’, displayed his striking prowess by making a sharp run into space. He was quick to seize the opportunity as a teammate took on a defender on the right flank. Without hesitation, the teammate delivered the ball into the penalty area.
At that moment, the 32-year-old Carrillo positioned himself perfectly near the goal line. Having outmaneuvered the defenders with ease, he pushed the ball into the net with confidence. Despite achieving this milestone in his new chapter under coach Míchel, Carrillo’s celebration was subdued, perhaps reflecting the focus on the team’s broader goals following their promotion after winning the Yello League (Second Division).
As the friendly match progressed, Carrillo continued to impress with his relentless energy in midfield and his willingness to support fellow attackers. He also took the opportunity to showcase his flair with individual plays. The match concluded favorably for Khobar’s team, which also saw contributions from Saif Rashad Mohamed, who scored in the game.
This performance has set a positive tone as Al-Qadisiyah gears up for the competitive season ahead, with Carrillo clearly proving to be a key player to watch in the upcoming fixtures.
