Serge Daura marks his comeback in style and fully reignites his season with Gazelle FA, making headlines in the last two fixtures with back-to-back goals.

It didn’t take long for Serge Daura to make his presence felt again. Crowned Cameroon Ballon d'Or 2025, he has staged a remarkable return to the peak of his game. The Gazelle FA striker bagged a brace this Thursday, finding the net in two consecutive matches.

Daura appears to have rediscovered his rhythm. With five goals now on his Elite One tally, he is once again establishing himself as one of the championship’s standout performers and a serious contender for the Golden Boot.

A brace that changes everything

Against Canon Sportif de Yaoundé, Serge Daura was simply unplayable. Opportunistic and clinical, he struck twice (29th, 80th minutes), guiding his team to a crucial 2-1 victory. His two goals propelled Gazelle FA, despite a late response from Oussama. It was a masterful performance, confirming his return to the spotlight.

Sharper and more inspired, the northern striker is rediscovering his goal-scoring instincts and his influence on his team's attacking play.
