Ronaldo continuously waved his hands to show his displeasure. |
On social networks, fans shared Cristiano Ronaldo’s angry moment with female referee Tori Penso. The Portuguese superstar continuously yelled at him and waved his hands to show his displeasure, but only received an indifferent attitude from the American female referee.
With this overreaction, Ronaldo could completely be sent off the field. Before that, he had to receive a yellow card, also for lack of restraint. The Portuguese striker got angry and kicked the ball hard into the stands when referee Penso blew the whistle, causing Al Nassr to lose a chance to get the ball in the 54th minute.
Ronaldo experienced an unforgettable match day. Even though it was just a match in a friendly tournament, CR7 and his teammates were still determined to defeat their city rival Al Hilal. However, the 39-year-old superstar was helpless before Al Hilal’s solid defense.
In 90 minutes, Ronaldo had 7 shots but only one of them was on target, a miss when facing goalkeeper Bono at the end of the first half. CR7’s remaining efforts were ineffective.
On the day Ronaldo was “caught to death”, Anderson Talisca could not prove his talent. Al Nassr’s defense also disappointed when it allowed the opponent to comfortably score 2 goals in the first half, thanks to Mitrovic and Al Dawsari respectively.
Al Hilal proved they are the strongest team in Riyadh this season with their second consecutive victory over Al Nassr. Even coach Jorge Jesus’ team is in destructive form with a series of 23 consecutive wins in all competitions.
