'Peacemaker' Ronaldo Settles Penalty Dispute Between Al Raed Players, Video

• Cristiano Ronaldo stepped in to mediate a dispute between two Al-Raed players
• Mohamed Fouzair and Karim El Berkaoui were both poised to take a penalty shot
• Ronaldo also scored for Al-Nassr once again in the same Saudi Pro League game

Cristiano Ronaldo showcased his leadership and sportsmanship as he intervened in a dispute between two Al-Raed players over who would take a penalty kick.

The 15th-placed side were trailing 0-3 against Ronaldo's Al-Nassr as the match neared its end.

An opportunity to grab a consolation goal presented itself late in the game when Igor Jovićević's side were awarded a penalty in the 89th minute.

However, the situation turned tense when Al-Raed players, Mohamed Fouzair and Karim El Berkaoui both positioned themselves at the penalty spot and began arguing over who would take the shot.

Ronaldo, who was on the pitch and awaiting the opposition penalty, could not overlook the unfolding situation.

In a video shared on social media, the five-time Ballon d'Or winner decided to step in as a mediator to resolve the dispute between the opposing players.

The Al-Nassr captain directed his attention to El Berkaoui, firmly patting his left arm and gesturing for him to move away from the penalty box - which he did.

The swift intervention from Ronaldo helped diffuse the disagreement, ensuring the penalty was taken without further delay.

Fouzair's determination to take the spot kick paid off, as he confidently executed a cheeky panenka to find the back of the net and earn his side a goal.

However, the penalty only narrowed Al Raed's deficit to 1-3, with the score remaining unchanged until the conclusion of the match, per Arab News.
