In a recent match against Al Hilal, Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al Nassr experienced a disappointing outcome, losing by three goals and seeing their 20-match unbeaten record come to an end. The encounter was marked by controversial decisions that played a significant role in the final result. The turning point occurred in the 64th minute when Al Nassr initially took the lead with a goal by Milinkovic Savic. However, the drama unfolded shortly afterward.

In the 73rd minute, Ronaldo executed a beautiful kick from the ground, but the goal was ruled offside. Subsequently, in the 85th minute, a cross from Sadio Mane struck Ronaldo in front of the goalkeeper Bounou, leading to the Portuguese star requiring treatment. Despite the contact, no penalty was awarded. The contentious decisions took a toll on Al Nassr, and their woes were compounded when Mitrovic scored two consecutive goals in the later stages of the game, securing a 3-0 victory for Al Hilal.

Ronaldo expressed his frustration with the referee’s decisions, and coach Luis Castro joined in the complaints. Notably, Ronaldo’s disallowed goal and the absence of a penalty call contrasted with Al-Hil midfielder Al-Boleahi receiving a straight red card for taunting Al Nassr fans after Mitrovic’s goal.
