Duran was placed perfectly as he picked up the ball after a turnover 30 meters from Al Fayha’s goal.

The Colombian drove towards goal and fooled Al Fayha-Center-Back Chris Smalling with a Shimmy before coolingly splitting into the back of the net.

RonaldoThere started the top with Duran, lifting his finger for celebration after watching the net before running off to join his new teammate.

Duran celebrated by repeating his funny facial expressions when he was filmed on the bench under Villa’s 4-2 win over Celtic.

The 21-year-old talent sacked his second in the evening in the 72nd minute.

A cross from Sadio Mane to the left flank flew over the target’s face and just to Duran.

He raised the ball over the on-rubling goalkeeper and over the line as an al Fayha defender couldn’t clear it in time.

Once again Ronaldo was nearby and drove away to celebrate with Duran.

Duran’s double was a timely reminder of some of Europe’s greatest clubs with his remarkable talent at such a young age.

French giants Paris Saint-Germain was interested in the 21-year-old in the January window, while Chelsea was strongly associated with a step to Duran last summer.

But their loss is all of Nassr’s win, with the prominent talent and Ronaldo, which now forms one of the most formidable attacking partnerships in the Saudi Pro League.

It was then the Portuguese superstar turn to get on the score two minutes later.

Al nassr right -back Nawaf Boushal made a striped run on the right flank before putting it on a dish for Ronaldo, walking unspoously into the box and swept home.

It was Ronaldo’s first goal since he celebrated his 40 -year birthday Wednesday.

Although a stadium-wide rendering of ‘Happy Birthday’ did not occur, Al Nassr’s supporters decided to Serenade Ronaldo in the 40th minute via sang his name.
