The Slovenian forward has made an instant impact at Al Ahly, following up his debut goal with a stellar performance in just his second game.

Nejc Gradišar has wasted no time in making his mark at Al Ahly, Egypt’s biggest club. After scoring on his debut, the 22-year-old Slovenian delivered an even more impressive performance today, registering one goal and two assists in the first half against Modern. His team currently leads 3-0 at halftime.

Al Ahly, the most popular club in Egypt, is in a fierce title race and remains undefeated, currently sitting second in the league. A win today would reduce the gap to league leaders Pyramids FC to just one point, with both teams currently holding an identical +13 goal difference.

Gradišar set up both of his assists for Egyptian international Ashour, who has been in excellent form this season. The forward, who was born in Ljubljana, already has one cap and one goal for the Slovenian national team and has adapted remarkably quickly to his new environment, despite the significant cultural and footballing differences.

Just last year, Gradišar was still playing in Slovenia’s Prva Liga, moving to Fehérvár in the winter before sealing a surprise transfer to Al Ahly. Before joining Rogaška, he also played for Bravo and Brežice.
