During the duel with Abha in the King Cup, there was little going on. Al-Nassr led 2-0 just before half-time and headed for a cup victory. In stoppage time of the first half, Ronaldo then thought he had another chance to decide the game early. However, the referee thought otherwise.
The announced two minutes of extra time had already expired when Ronaldo, still well in his own half, started an advance. However, the referee blew his whistle for the half-time signal. To the disbelief and frustration of the Portuguese. He picked up the ball and almost shot it out of the stadium, followed by some arm gestures and presumably unfriendly texts. It resulted in a yellow card for the Portuguese.
Al-Nassr eventually won the game 3-1, Ronaldo did not score.
Ronaldo stormed off the field in a fury on Thursday evening after suffering a defeat in the Saudi league with Al-Nassr. The team lost 1-0 against Al-Ittihad. Al-Ittihad supporters chanted the name of Lionel Messi and the 38-year-old Portuguese clearly did not appreciate that.
