Cristiano Ronaldo’s frustration increased due to the controversial refereeing decisions
The VAR technology was once again the center of attention. When Al Hilal goalkeeper Yassine Bounou punched the ball and Ronaldo, the referee and VAR did not interrupt to give a penalty. In the 88th minute, Mitrovic pushed the Portuguese star on the side and scored a header to make it 2-0. The referees did not see anything wrong.
Al Nassr manager Luis Castro also made his frustrations clear on the sidelines. There was also one goal from Ronaldo that he scored was offside. However, on the replay, it looked like a very tight decision. To add to all this, Al Hilal fans chanted the name of Lionel Messi. And Ronaldo responded with a flying kiss.
