Superstar Cristiano Ronaldo was unable to keep calm in the face of a provocation by another team player, leading to his being sent off the field.
Al-Nassr continues to suffer another bitter defeat against Al-Hilal. This time it happened in the semi-final match of the Saudi Arabia Super Cup.
The goal scorers for the home team were Malcom and Al Dawsari. Meanwhile, Al-Nassr only managed to find a consolation goal late in the game thanks to forward Sadio Mane.
The situation led to Ronaldo’s red card
This failure also signifies that Cristiano Ronaldo and his teammates have almost come away empty-handed this season. It can be said that Al-Hilal is the nightmare for CR7 as the 39-year-old star became the focal point in today’s match.
The situation occurred in the 84th minute, when Cristiano Ronaldo, in an attempt to win the ball in the left wing, collided with a teammate from the opposing team. Ali Albulayhi deliberately provoked CR7 by continuously pushing Ronaldo.
In a state of lack of control, Ronaldo reacted forcefully as necessary. Specifically, the Portuguese superstar used his elbow to push Ali Albulayhi aside.
It seemed like a regular situation until the main referee sent off Ronaldo. Right after making his decision, the cameras captured CR7 looking furious and raising his fist towards the “king in black”.
Before leaving the field, Ronaldo repeatedly signed a “like” towards the referee, saying that the home team had benefited from the above decision.
