Angry Ronaldo Blasts Referee for ‘Failing’ To Award Foul Which Led to Al Nassr Conceding: Video

• Cristiano Ronaldo was unhappy with officiating at half time
• The Al-Nassr captain felt he should have been awarded a foul before his side conceded the first goal
• Nonetheless, he led his side to a dramatic come-from-behind win

Cristiano Ronaldo vented his spleen at the match officials at halftime during Al-Nassr's Saudi Pro League home game against Damac on Saturday.

The former Man United, Real Madrid, and Juventus ace confronted Honduran referee Said Martinez and his team, citing what he believed to be unfair treatment, as Al-Nassr endeavoured to catch up with early front-runners Al-Hilal.

Why did Ronaldo blast the referees?

In an episode where Ronaldo, nearing the Damac box, seemed to have been fouled by an opponent, the referee chose to let play continue, ultimately resulting in the opening goal.

Unhappy with this decision, the 38-year-old promptly approached the referees, conveying his discontent with the standard of officiating at halftime.

Cristiano, visibly exasperated, faced multiple obstacles from the Damac defence, with a couple of his opportunities being denied before one of his attempts was rightly disqualified for being offside, resulting in the home side trailing at halftime.
