Jhon Duran struggled to limit his enjoyment after scoring twice with Cristiano Ronaldo on Al-Nassr’s debut yesterday.
The Colombian striker joined the Riyadh Club at the end of the January transfer window for £ 65 million from Aston Villa and won an impressive support in his new Al-Fayha Club.
Ronaldo was also on the match sheet with the target 924 of his remarkable career to cover a perfect night for Stefano Pioli’s men.
Asked about the game along with the Portuguese superstar, Duran said: “He feels like playing FIFA’s career. I celebrate goals with Cristiano Ronaldo!”
The discovery came in the 22nd minute, when Duran found space in the center of the box and threw a left bike into the lower right corner, placing Al-Nassr in front.

Ronaldo, inevitably, gets his goal
Ronaldo was alive all half, coming close to 31st minute after setting up by Sadio Mane, but his shot lost the target.
The second half followed a similar pattern, with Al-Nassr dictating the game and creating many opportunities. The defense of Al-Fayha was under constant pressure and Duran doubled the visitors’ lead in the 72nd minute, turning from nearby after a pleasant cross from Mane.
Just two minutes later, Ronaldo got his goal, completing a quick counterattack with a right shot in the lower left corner.

The victory was the fifth in the Al-Nassr series in all matches and now they sit third in the Pro League.
The next one is a trip to fifth place Al Ahli on Thursday.
