Ronaldo and Duran Shine as Al-Nassr Cruise Past Al-Feiha

What a night for Al-Nassr! The Riyadh-based giants delivered a statement performance in the Saudi Pro League, comfortably defeating Al-Feiha 3-0 at Al-Awwal Park. And the headlines? Well, they belong to Cristiano Ronaldo and the club’s newest star, Jhon Duran.

Let’s start with Duran, the young Colombian forward who arrived with a hefty €77 million price tag. Pressure? What pressure? He wasted no time making an impact, scoring not once but twice on his debut. His first goal came in the 22nd minute—a clinical finish after Al-Feiha’s defense got caught sleeping. The stadium erupted as Duran celebrated his first goal in Al-Nassr colors. But he wasn’t done. In the 72nd minute, Sadio Mané sent in a perfect cross, and Duran, with a striker’s instinct, poked it past the onrushing keeper to complete his brace. What a way to introduce yourself to the fans!

And then, of course, there’s Ronaldo. The legendary Portuguese forward, now 40, proved that age is just a number. In the 75th minute, he did what he does best—timing his run to perfection, meeting a pinpoint cross from Sultan Al-Ghannam, and smashing the ball into the bottom corner. His iconic “Siuuu” celebration followed, with the crowd roaring in approval. It was his first goal since turning 40, and he made sure everyone knew he’s still got it.

Beyond the goals, Al-Nassr dominated the match. Their defense held strong, Laporte and Brozović controlling the backline, while Mané and Brozović ran the midfield. Al-Feiha tried to fight back, but their efforts were shut down at every turn.

With this victory, Al-Nassr climbs to third place in the league standings, keeping their title hopes alive. But more importantly, they’ve sent a message—the Ronaldo-Duran partnership could be one of the deadliest in the league.

What a performance. What a duo. Al-Nassr fans, get ready—this could be something special!
