Al-Nassr’s inconsistent form in the Saudi Pro League continued with another frustrating result on Friday night. Cristiano Ronaldo, who found the net in the first half, was left disappointed after his side conceded twice and were reduced to 10 men early in the second half, settling for a 2-2 draw.

January signing Jhon Duran, who arrived from Aston Villa, came on with 20 minutes left but failed to make an impact. The Colombian forward enjoyed a bright start to his Al-Nassr career, scoring four goals in his first two league matches. However, he has now gone four games without a goal, missing one due to suspension.

The draw leaves Al-Nassr fourth in the standings and struggling to keep pace in the title race. Since Ronaldo’s arrival in late 2022, they have finished second twice, but this season has been marked by inconsistency.

After the match, Ronaldo posted a simple four-word message on Instagram: “We will keep fighting.” Meanwhile, Duran will look to regain form as Al-Nassr prepare for their crucial AFC Champions League second-leg clash against Esteghlal on Monday—one of their last remaining chances at silverware this season.
