Angry and frustrated In a dreadful performance, Cristiano Ronaldo sees red as Al-Nassr is eliminated from the Saudi Super Cup after suffering a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Al-Hilal.
The Saudi Super Cup final was played on Monday, and Al-Nassr was eliminated from the competition by Al-Hilal by a score of 2-1. Cristiano Ronaldo was shown a red card during the match.
Al-Hilal prevailed over Al-Nassr by a score of 2-1.After the game was over, Ronaldo was issued a red card for elbowing an Al-Hilal player.
Ronaldo felt irritated after the goal scored by his team was disallowed because of the Portugal star. This occurred toward the end of the first half. Even though he was offside, he made an attempt to play the ball when it entered the area. He was successful in blocking it before it could reach Otavio, who scored. The video assistant referee (VAR) review confirmed that the decision to ban Ronaldo from touching the ball was valid. The flag was raised because Ronaldo sought to touch the ball.
Following the passage of the ball through the hands of Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, Salem Al-Dawsari of Al-Hilal finally made his way through the Al-Nassr defense and blasted the ball into the net. This occurred shortly after the hour mark. Following a short period of time, Malcom’s outstanding long-range shot hit the post, so preventing them from taking advantage of the opportunity to double their lead. Malcom scored his goal with fewer than twenty minutes remaining in the match. He did it after a hazardous cross sent him sprinting into the area, and the Brazilian’s header, which was wonderfully placed, bҽat David Ospina.
Towards the end of the match, Ronaldo made a rare attempt for his team to score again; however, he appeared to be uncharacteristically slow, and Kalidou Koulibaly easily stopped his shot. After some time had passed, when his anger reached a boiling pitch, he elbowed a player from Al-Hilal, which resulted in him receiving a straight red card; he even raised his fist in the direction of the referee.
After Sadio Mane removed Al-Nassr’s talisman, Al-Nassr was given the opportunity to reply; however, the damage had already been done, and Al-Hilal went on to advance to the title game.
Al-Nassr was faced with a true nuisance in the form of Malcom, a Brazilian winger, during the second half of the match. He was unlucky to see a particularly dangerous long-range attempt hit the post and miss another opportunity before ultimately scoring a goal that deserved to be scored. He ultimately scored a goal that deserved to be scored. He was still working toward the goal of obtaining extra opportunities for his squad and was eager to bring Al-Nassr another round of agony.
It is possible that the outcome would have been different if Ronaldo had not moved to play the ball when it was sailing toward the back post just before halftime. The goal scored by Otavio was disallowed because the Portugal star was offside when the ball was played, because he stretched out, and because he failed to touch the ball. After being cautioned for his objections, the Portuguese midfielder, who was visibly angry, was eventually shown an unnecessary red card for elbowing an Al-Hilal player later in the second half. This occurred after the player had already been booked previously.
As a result of their victory on Monday, Al-Hilal will face Al-Ittihad in the championship match. In the other semi-final of the day, Al-Ittihad emerged victorious over Al-Wehda by a score of 2-1. It is scheduled for April 11 that the championship game will take place at the Mohammed bin Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi.
