Spanish coach of Al-Qadsiah, Michel Gonzalez, described his team's 1-2 loss to host Al-Ahli on Friday as unacceptable, attributing the reason to the reality of the match as he described it, where his team dominated for 85 minutes compared to Al-Ahli's limited presence. Regarding the impact of the defeat, he said: "We must work on improving and developing our attacking capabilities. Our team is strong." He added: "We controlled the game and had several opportunities to score in both halves, while Al-Ahli, in turn, capitalized on their chances and scored two goals." He went on to break down the details of the match: "In the first half, we were down by a goal, and we were the ones with more opportunities. We used the sending-off to apply more pressure in the second half until we equalized, but things quickly turned against us."
