Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang continued his sensational form for Saudi Pro League contenders on Tuesday, scoring twice in a 3-1 victory over Al-Orobah.
Aubameyang and strike partner Julián Quiñones continue to terrorize defenses with the Mexican international opening the scoring in the 65th minute before Aubameyang struck twice. The Gabon national team star confirmed victory in the 88th minute with his second goal, driving at the Orobah defense before firing in with his left foot (video above).
His first goal was much more straightforward. In the 77th minute, Aubameyang put the hosts into the lead with a header from a cross by Quiñones.
Al-Qadsiah have now won four games in a row and have successfully moved ahead of Al-Nassr and Al Ahli in the race for third place. Aubameyang has seven goals and an assist in his last nine matches, bringing his season totals to 20 goals and 3 assists in 34 games across league and cup competitions.
Qadsiah finish up their league fixtures next Monday when they travel to face Al-Hilal. The club has an opportunity to secure qualification for the AFC Champions League 2 next season if they either finish in third place or if they win the final of the King's Cup when they face league champions Al Ittihad on May 30.
