On March 16, Cristiano Ronaldo scored the only goal of the match from the penalty spot in the 68th minute, helping Al Nassr win a narrow 1-0 victory at Al Ahli’s field in the Saudi Pro League.
That was the Portuguese star’s 879th career goal and 50th for Al Nassr Club. It also helped Cristiano Ronaldo maintain the top spot in the tournament’s top scorer list with 22 goals.
However, Cristiano Ronaldo is always a “thorn” in the eyes of more than 30,000 Al Ahli fans in the stands. That was the cause of the ugly image at the end of the first half.
In the 45th minute, Cristiano Ronaldo escaped the last defender and passed the goalkeeper of Al Ahli Club. After that, CR7 gently scored from a very tight angle and put the ball into the empty net.
Cristiano Ronaldo and his teammates celebrated excitedly with this beautiful goal. Unfortunately, VAR then intervened and denied the goal for offside. It’s worth mentioning that when the Portuguese star was celebrating with his teammates near the touchline, the audience on the field threw water bottles at them.
The audience did not throw it at Cristiano Ronaldo but hit teammate Otavio in the head. Cristiano Ronaldo turned to the stands to react to this ugly action. Even Al Ahli players asked the home fans to stay calm, but then water bottles continued to be thrown down.
