Ronaldo received a red card and swung at the referee in the SA Super Cup match
Al-Nasar’s Portuguese striker Cristiano Ronaldo received a straight red card in the Saudi Arabian Super Cup (SA) semi-final match against Al-Hilal. “Championship” reports this.
The forward was sent off in the 86th minute for unsportsmanlike conduct. Ronaldo tried to quickly bring the ball out of touch and pushed his elbow into the chest of opposing player Ali Al-Bulaihi, as a result he fell to the lawn.
After this, a fight broke out between the players on the field. Leaving the court, Ronaldo swung at the referee, but lowered his hand. He then gave the referee and fans a thumbs up. The meeting ended with a score of 2:1 in favor of Al-Hilal.
On February 26, Ronaldo made an obscene gesture after the match of the 21st round of the SA Championship against Al-Shabab. The striker waved his hand several times in the groin area at the opposing fans who were chanting the name of Argentine forward Lionel Messi.
Ronaldo moved to Al-Nasr on December 30, 2022. The 39-year-old forward’s contract is valid for two years.
