VIDEO: Red card for Cristiano Ronaldo! Al-Nassr superstar rages at referee after being sent off for elbow in disastrous display against Al-Hilal

Al-Nassr thought they had taken a 1-0 goal lead when Otavio diverted into the net at the end of the first half of the Saudi Super Cup semi-final on Monday. However, the flag soon went up and replays showed that it was disallowed because Ronaldo made an attempt to play the ball from an offside position.

WHAT HAPPENED?

The decision sent Ronaldo into a fury as he argued with the referee about the call. Ronaldo failed to connect with the ball in the middle of the box and it made its way through to Otavio, who was onside when the ball was played. Ronaldo was shown a yellow card by the referee because of his protest, but his day got worse when he lashed out at an Al-Hilal player and was shown a straight red card late in the game while his team were 2-0 down. He raised his fist at the referee after the card came out and sarcastically applauded the official as he walked off.
