Saudi Arabia (Saudi Arabia)In the fifteenth round of the Saudi Pro League, the away team Al Nassr was defeated by the side that was leading the group, Al Hilal, by a score of 0-3; Cristiano Ronaldo did not score for the second match in a row.

A stunning left-foot volley by Ronaldo once placed the ball into the net in the 72nd minute, when the home team was leading 1-0. However, the goal was disallowed because it was scored by Al Nassr, the captain of the team, because he was offside. In spite of the fact that semi-automatic offside detection equipment demonstrated that he was not in violation of the rules, the referee chose to disregard this information and proceed with the match. Luis Castro, the coach of the away team, approached the referee while carrying his phone in order to show him the image; nonetheless, the situation did not change.

In addition to this circumstance, Ronaldo had three possibilities to fire, but he missed two of them. Once, he hit a defender, and the other time, he was prevented from shooting by the goalkeeper. You should push the ball out, and then you should send it to the outside edge of the net another time. In this match, the striker, who is 36 years old, only received 6.6 points, which is the fourth lowest number of points on the squad, according to Sofascore.A contentious decision was also made by the Colombian referee Wilmar Roldan at the very last minute. He showed a red card to the midfielder Ali Al-Bulaihi, which resulted in his immediate disqualification from the game. After making a collective gesture with his hands, this player turned his back to the spectators of the other side in order to make fun of them. However, Mr. Roldan made the decision to quickly remove Bulaihi from the field despite the fact that this behavior would normally warrant a yellow card. Following the conclusion of the game, Bulaihi declared, “We are still looking for Ronaldo.” It is possible that he is still in Luxembourg.

During the 89th minute, Ronaldo was also embroiled in a heated scenario. This occurred after Al Hilal was awarded a corner kick on the left side of the field. In order to make the score 2-0, striker Aleksandar Mitrovic scored a goal by heading the ball in from close range after midfielder Salem Al Dawsari hung the ball to the near post. Mitrovic knocked Ronaldo down with both hands before concluding the match, and the Portuguese captain also lodged a complaint with the referee about the incident. Nevertheless, Al Hilal’s objective was acknowledged in any case.

In the final minute of the game, Mitrovic scored another goal, bringing the home team’s victory to a 3-0 score. Prior to that, in the 64th minute, another player from Serbia named Sergej Milinkovic-Savic was the one who created the opening goal. With this victory, Al Hilal is able to keep their status as the top team, seven points ahead of Al Nassr, which is in second place.
