"Why is this a red card?"
Cristiano Ronaldo is outraged. Ronaldo's al-Nasr lost 2-3 at 2 a.m. on the 22nd (Korea time) at home against Alty Park in the 21st round of the Saudi professional league at Riyadh Alwal Park, Saudi Arabia, giving up multiple goals to Dutch ace Giorgiño Fernaldum.
Ayman Yahya scored the first goal in the second minute of the second half, but eight minutes later, he gave up the equalizer to Huinaldum in the 10th minute of the second half, and in the 20th minute of the second half, Mohamed scored a goal to lead 2-1 but scored an own goal in the 37th minute of the second half to tie it 2-2. Then, in the 44th minute of the second half, Huinaldum scored a come-from-behind goal and suffered a crushing defeat on the home turf. While Ronaldo was unable to shake the net due to the opponent's concentration mark, John Duran, who transferred from Aston Villa, was sent off in extra time.
Ronaldo exploded at Duran's decision to leave in a desperate situation on the verge of a come-from-behind defeat. He expressed his intense emotions throughout his body. Ronaldo, who encountered the assistant referee in the center circle after arguing with the referee, did not hide his anger. After kicking the ball in the center circle out of the ground, he continued to protest until he went out to the touchline. He said it was a ridiculous decision, and he spread his arms and repeatedly made a gesture of bewilderment.
Alnasr's hopes of winning the upset were shaken by the defeat. It fell to fourth place (44 points) in the league, following Al-Itihad (52 points), Al-Hilal (48 points) and Al-Kubar (47 points). League leader RT Hard is eight points ahead of Alnasr with one less game played. However, Ronaldo still maintained a close scoring position with 16 goals in 20 games, one goal ahead of his former Real teammate Karim Benzema (15 goals).
Meanwhile, Oleksandr Usyk, the world's unified heavyweight champion, was the protagonist of the Alnasr home stadium, which was marred by Ronaldo's poor performance and protest. Usyk, who was introduced to the crowd prior to kickoff, was applauded for his fan service performing Ronaldo's signature goal ceremony 'Siu', waving to fans in an al-Nasr uniform with Ronaldo's signature.
