'What a beautiful string of play. Sensational goal. Mitch Duke take a bow,' one fan wrote on Twitter.
'That's an absolutely brilliant finish from Duke,' a fellow supporter agreed.
'Chicharito header,' another fan added, using Hernandez's nickname to refer to how Duke's goal was similar to his.
Duke currently plays his club football in Japan for J2 League outfit Fagiano Okayama.
He is featuring at his first World Cup, and his header was his first goal on the biggest stage.
One fan cheekily pointed out that he now has an edge over Barcelona and Poland forward Robert Lewandowski when it comes to finding the net in World Cups.
'Mitch Duke, more World Cup goals than Robert Lewandowski,' they posted on social media.
