Cristiano Ronaldo found himself at the centre of controversy yet again during Al-Nassr\u2019s Saudi Super Cup clash against Al-Hilal.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The match, already tense with Al-Nassr trailing 2-0, escalated into chaos as Ronaldo was sent off for an altercation with Al-Hilal\u2019s Ali Al-Bulaihi.<\/p>\n

Video footage captured Ronaldo seemingly elbowing Al-Bulaihi and later appearing to stamp on him, inciting a brawl between the two teams.<\/p>\n

Referee Mohammed Al-Hoaish wasted no time in brandishing a straight red card to Ronaldo, who displayed his frustration by gesturing towards the official, seemingly indicating a desire to throw a punch.<\/p>\n

As he exited the pitch, Ronaldo sarcastically patted another match official on the shoulder, further illustrating his displeasure.<\/p>\n

Earlier in the game, Ronaldo had clashed with the referee over a disallowed goal, receiving a yellow card for his protests. This contentious decision set the stage for the later altercation.<\/p>\n

Despite Ronaldo\u2019s dismissal, Al-Nassr managed to secure a late consolation goal through Sadio Mane, but it wasn\u2019t enough to overturn the deficit.<\/p>\n

Salem Aldawsari and Malcom\u2019s goals secured a 2-1 victory for Al-Hilal, advancing them to the next round of the Saudi Super Cup.<\/p>\n

This incident adds to Ronaldo\u2019s troubled season in Saudi football, following a previous suspension for allegedly making an obscene gesture during a match in February.<\/p>\n
