Jhon Jader Durán is unstoppable right now. The Colombian striker scored twice on Thursday, leading Al Nassr to a dramatic 3-2 win over Al Ahli in the Saudi Pro League. With this victory, Al Nassr extended their unbeaten streak to eight matches. They’ve won seven and drawn one during this run. Once again, Durán was the difference-maker.
Durán joined Al Nassr just recently, but he’s already turning heads. Last week, he made an impressive debut with two goals. This week, he delivered another brace. Step by step, he’s becoming a key player for the team.
A Game Full of Twists and Turns
The game started with a steady pace, but it exploded into life in the 32nd minute. That’s when Durán struck with a powerful shot from the edge of the box, giving Al Nassr a 1-0 lead.
For a while, it looked like that might be the only goal. However, things changed quickly in the final 15 minutes. First, Al Ahli equalized in the 78th minute with a goal from Ivan Toney. The match was back on level terms, and the momentum seemed to shift.
But Al Nassr wasn’t done. Just two minutes later, Ayman Yahya restored their lead, making it 2-1. The excitement didn’t stop there. With only two minutes of regular time left, Durán stepped up again. After a stunning solo run, he calmly slotted the ball past Édouard Mendy, increasing the lead to 3-1.
Then, deep into stoppage time, Al Ahli pulled one back. Sumayhan Al-Nabit found the net to make it 3-2. But it was too late. Al Nassr held firm and secured the win.
HE KEPT RUNNING… AND NEVER LOOKED BACK! 🔥🔥

Durán Makes History
This match marked a special milestone for Durán. It was the first time in his career that he scored consecutive braces for a club. In just two games, he has already scored four goals.
His partnership with Cristiano Ronaldo is starting to click. Durán’s pace and finishing ability perfectly complement Ronaldo’s experience and leadership. It’s clear the Colombian striker is thriving under the pressure.
