Al-Nassr fans on X have blasted Cristiano Ronaldo's teammate Jhon Duran after he failed to be clinical during their 2-1 win over Al-Riyadh. The two sides locked horns in the Saudi Pro League at Al-Awwal Park on Saturday, April 12.
Al-Riyadh were dominant in the first half, breaking the deadlock via Faiz Selemani's accurate strike (45+2'). Cristiano Ronaldo leveled the scores in the 56th minute with a close-range finish. The Portugal icon then completed his brace eight minutes later from outside the box, netting an unstoppage volley into the top-right corner to secure the win for his side.
Duran performed poorly in front of goal, landing just three shots on target from an attempted 10 (30 percent accuracy). The former Aston Villa forward missed five big chances in the process, denying Ronaldo multiple assists, with the latter creating five chances in total.
