After raising his fist at the referee in the recent Saudi Super Cup match, Ronaldo may receive a heavy fine from the Football Federation of this country.
During the match between Al Nassr and Al Hilal in the recent Saudi Super Cup, Ronaldo acted unpleasantly. Specifically, in the 85th minute, in a situation where Al Bulayhi used a trick to prevent Ronaldo from throwing quickly, the 39-year-old player did not keep calm and elbowed Al Hilal’s number 5.
Referee Mohammed Al Hoaish immediately issued a red card. After receiving the red card, Ronaldo appeared angry, even raising his fist at the referee.
According to Saudi Arabian press, CR7’s above action will cause him to receive a fine of 20,000 riyals (about 5,000 USD) and a 2-match suspension from Al Nassr. This is a much heavier punishment than the punishment Ronaldo received last month after insulting the audience after the match against Al Shabab.
Currently, the Disciplinary Committee of the Saudi Arabian Football Federation has not yet officially issued a penalty to Ronaldo and the match in which CR7 must rest has not been determined. According to the schedule, Al Nassr’s next match will take place on April 19 when this team meets Al Fayha.
