In Tuesday’s 2-0 loss to Al-Hilal, Al-Nassr’s captain Cristiano Ronaldo received a yellow card for an unsportsmanlike challenge on an opposition player.
The incident occurred after 56 minutes of play.
The Portuguese superstar put Gustavo Cuellar in a headlock and pulled him to the ground, so the referee had no choice but to show him a yellow card.
The infraction occurred during a terrible night for Al-Nassr, who lost 2-0.
Odion Ighalo, a former striker for Manchester United, converted two penalties to give the hosts a victory.
As a result, Ronaldo’s team is now three points behind Al-Ittihad, who are also in first place and have a game remaining.
Al-Nassr will return to action on Monday when they take on Al-Wehda in the King Cup of Champions semifinals.
