In a tense Riyadh Season Cup final, Cristiano Ronaldo found himself in a brief heated exchange with an on-pitch official after Al Nassr suffered a 2-0 defeat to Al Hilal.
The game took a challenging turn for Ronaldo and his team as Al Hilal's Sergej Milinkovic-Savic opened the scoring on 17 minutes. Saudi Arabia international Salem Al Dawsari added another goal on 30 minutes, securing the 2-0 victory for Al Hilal.
Luis Castro's side had a tough night, managing just three shots on target throughout the entire 90 minutes. Ronaldo's frustration escalated, leading to an early booking in the second half when he expressed his displeasure by smashing the ball into the crowd in response to a decision made by referee Tori Penso
Ronaldo seemed upset after the match just before the team participated in an honorary 'guard of honour'. An on-pitch official initially blocked his way, leading the Portuguese forward to throw his arm up in frustration. There was a brief and inaudible exchange between them.
On the other hand, Anderson Talisca didn't seem as bothered by the incident. The Brazilian was spotted laughing behind Ronaldo.
