The Colombia striker joined the Riyad Club at the end of the January transfer window for 65 million pounds sterling by Aston Villa and scored an impressive involvement in the 3-0 defeat of his new club on al-Fayha .
Ronaldo was also on the match sheet with the 924 goal of his remarkable career to crown a perfect evening for the men of Stefano Pioli.
Asked about the game alongside the Portugal superstar, Duran said: “I feel like I play FIFA career mode. I celebrate goals with Cristiano Ronaldo!
The breakthrough arrived in the 22nd minute when Duran found space in the center of the box and hit a left foot in the lower right corner, putting Al-Nassr.

Ronaldo, inevitably, obtains his goal
Ronaldo was alive throughout half-time, approaching the 31st minute after being installed by Sadio Mane, but his shot missed the target.
The second half followed a similar model, with Al-Nassr dictating the game and creating many opportunities. The defense of Al-Fayha was under constant pressure, and Duran doubled the advance of the hosts in the 72nd minute, converting to close range after a delicious cross of Mane.
Two minutes later, Ronaldo obtained his goal, finishing a quick counterattack with a right shot in the lower left corner.
