Julian Quinones, forward for the Mexican national team and Al-Qadisiyah, was involved in a near-brawl with his competitor for the top scorer title, Briton Ivan Toney, at the end of the match where Al-Qadsiah defeated Al Ahli 3-2, and the two teams nearly came to blows.

Quinones' team beat Al Ahli 3-2 with two stoppage-time goals in the 90+2 and 90+8 minutes, which put them just two points behind their opponents, who are currently second in the Saudi Arabian league.

Toney's squad's defeat hit the morale of his players hard, and Quinones didn't miss the opportunity to provoke the British player. As he passed by, he pushed him by the shoulder, immediately sparking a confrontation, during which the former Club America player headbutted his opponent.

In the images shared on social media, it can be seen that after Quinones' provocation, the two players grabbed each other by the neck and pulled at their shirts, prompting their teammates to intervene to try to calm things down. The matter didn't escalate further, but Quinones and Toney remained very heated and tried to continue their altercation. However, staff from both teams escorted them to the locker rooms to prevent the situation from worsening. The sanction Quinones could receive: According to Saudi Arabian league regulations, for this type of violence, both players could be suspended for at least two matches. Julian Quinones would undoubtedly be the most affected, as he is one goal behind Ivan Toney in the race for the top scorer title. Therefore, Quinones will need to be more cautious and effective when dealing with players who provoke him. Meanwhile, Quinones is already focused on the upcoming matches against Portugal and Belgium with the Mexican national team during the next FIFA international break, where the striker is expected to be included in Javier Aguirre's squad.Although he will have some rivals vying for a starting spot.

This isn't the first time the Mexican national team striker has found himself in this type of situation. During his time with America,he had several confrontations with players from Chivas and Cruz Azul, mainly due to his consistently winning mentality, which has him competing for the top scorer title, even though his usual position isn't center forward, but rather as a second striker arriving from deep.
