Al Qadsiah vs. Al Sadd: 1–1 Result, Kickoff Time and How to Follow

Updated October 27, 2026: Al Qadsiah Club and Al Sadd SC finished 1–1 in their AFC Champions League Elite 2026–27 Matchday 3 game on Monday, October 26. The match was played at Prince Mohammed Bin Fahd Stadium in Dammam, Saudi Arabia. Akram Afif gave Al Sadd the lead in the 74th minute, and Julian Quinones equalized 10 minutes later, according to the AFC’s official report. Al Sadd’s current official event page also records a 1–1 result at full time.

What was the Al Qadsiah vs. Al Sadd score?

The confirmed final score was Al Qadsiah 1, Al Sadd 1. Afif put the Qatari side ahead in the 74th minute, but Al Qadsiah responded through Quinones in the 84th minute. The AFC describes the late equalizer as the goal that preserved Al Qadsiah’s unbeaten start to the competition. The draw left Al Qadsiah with five points after three matches and gave Al Sadd its first point following two straight defeats.

The AFC match report is the clearest source for the result and goal sequence. Al Sadd’s official event page currently agrees with the AFC, displaying the teams level at 1–1 and marking the game full time at 90 minutes. FanCode’s fixture page identifies the match as Match 38 and marks it completed, although its page is best used to confirm the listing and availability of video rather than as the article’s primary score source. These current records support reporting a draw, not an unverified alternative score.

When and where did the match take place?

The AFC’s official league-stage schedule lists Al Qadsiah Club against Al Sadd SC for Monday, October 26, 2026, at Prince Mohammed Bin Fahd Stadium in Dammam. The scheduled kickoff was 9:15 p.m. in Dammam, Saudi Arabia Standard Time (AST, UTC+03:00), which is 18:15 UTC on the same date. Saudi Arabia does not observe a seasonal clock change, so the local offset for this October fixture was UTC+03:00.

FanCode’s Match 38 page shows October 26 at 11:45 p.m. That clock time corresponds to 18:15 UTC converted to India Standard Time (IST, UTC+05:30), though the page does not visibly label the time zone beside the listing. For readers comparing calendars, the AFC’s Dammam time and UTC time provide explicit reference points; a device’s automatically converted time can vary with the reader’s location.

How can fans follow the match now?

The game is over, so there is no live kickoff or current live stream to follow. Readers looking for the final result and scoring summary should start with the AFC’s Matchday 3 report. The AFC records the 1–1 score and the two goal times, while the Al Sadd official event page provides a club-side completed result. Both sources are preferable to unsourced score cards when results conflict or update at different speeds.

FanCode lists the fixture as Match 38 and completed, and its page is the place to check whether match highlights, a replay, or other video is currently available. The presence of a match listing does not guarantee that a replay is offered, that it remains available indefinitely, or that viewers in every country can access it. The AFC has named FanCode as its media partner for Asian football competitions in India for the 2025–2028 cycle. Fans outside India should check their local licensed broadcaster or the AFC’s current viewing information rather than assuming FanCode rights apply worldwide.

If video is unavailable, the written AFC report remains a useful record of the final score and decisive moments. A completed label indicates the match status; it does not by itself confirm the score, scorers, or availability of an archive. Readers can use the official report and club event page together to check those details without confusing a delayed or incomplete listing with a change to the match result.

What is confirmed about injuries, suspensions, and lineups?

The official AFC post-match report confirms the score and scorers but does not provide a full injury or suspension bulletin. The schedule and FanCode fixture card do not provide medical updates either, and the Al Sadd event page records the completed result without explaining player availability. No specific pre-match absence, late injury, or suspension is confirmed in the official material reviewed for this update.

That means the result should not be used to guess why a player started, came on as a substitute, or did not appear. An absence from a summary is not evidence of an injury, and a match listing is not a disciplinary record. Readers who need a player-by-player lineup or a later medical explanation should consult the clubs’ official announcements or a published official match-center lineup. If no statement is available, the accurate status is that the reason has not been confirmed in the sources checked.

What the draw means in the league stage

This was a West Region league-stage fixture on Matchday 3, not a knockout tie. The points update is therefore the main competition consequence that the AFC confirms in its report: Al Qadsiah moved to five points and maintained an unbeaten opening, while Al Sadd collected its first point after losing its first two matches. A single draw does not settle either club’s eventual position or qualification prospects; the league-stage table will continue to change as the remaining fixtures are played.

For a quick check, keep the score, event date, and time-zone labels together. The result is 1–1; kickoff was Monday, October 26, at 9:15 p.m. Dammam time (AST, UTC+03:00), or 18:15 UTC; and the venue was Prince Mohammed Bin Fahd Stadium in Dammam. Since the match has reached full time, follow-up searches should use result, recap, or highlights wording rather than looking for an upcoming kickoff.
