Both Al-Hilal and Al-Ittihad gave stoppage time winners at the Saudi Pro League Summit in a dramatic day of action at the Saudi Pro League Summit.
Al-Hilal looked set to move a point clear of their title challengers after Georges-Kevin N'Koudou Darmac's brace earned a stunning 2-1 win over Al-Ittihad earlier in the day.
But Jorge Jesus' side could not capitalize, with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang netting his second of the game late on to earn al-Qadsiah a deserved 2-1 triumph for the hosts.
The pair of results leave both al-Hilal and Al-Itsihad level on 43 points, but they remain six points clear of third-placed Al-Qadsiah after 17 games of their respective campaigns.
At Prince Mohamed Bin Fahd Stadium, Al-Qadsiah went ahead in the second minute after a short corner routine was put home by Aubameyang from the penalty area.
Marcos Leonardo restored parity five minutes after the break when the ball broke kindly to him on the edge of the box and sent a sweeping strike into the bottom left corner.
With the game going full square, Aubameyang emerged with the winner after being slotted in by Julian Quinones in the third minute of the second half of stoppage time.
Al-Ittihad can breathe a bit of a sigh of relief after their earlier defeat to Darmac, with N'Koudou the hero for the side who now sit 10th in the Saudi Pro League standings.
N'Koudou opened the scoring beautifully in the 17th minute, switching the ball onto his right foot before scoring a fierce effort past a stranded predrag Rajkovic.
That opening goal gave Al-Ittihad life, although Danilo Pereira, Saad Al Mosa and N'Golo Kante all saw their efforts blocked by Darmac's stern defensive backline.
However, the hosts' resilience was broken in the first half of stoppage time when Karim Benzema headed home after being picked out by Abdulrahman Al Obud's Cross in the box.
Although Laurent Blanc's star-studded outfit continued to push for a winner, a moment of misfortune saw Darmac take all three points in the closing stages of the encounter.
N'Koudou, having found the back of the net, tried his luck again and saw his strike deflect Al Mosa, deflecting Rajkovic on its way to the net.
