Cristiano Ronaldo Avoids Red Card As Al Nassr Lose Again: Odion Ighalo, a former striker for Manchester United, scored two penalties for Al Hilal, handing Al Nassr their third loss of the year and seriously undermining their chances of winning the Saudi Pro League championship.

On the 56th minute, with his team trailing 1-0, Ronaldo was chasing a high ball when he leaped and fell on the back of a rival player, grabbing hold of his neck, and dragging him to the ground. But, Premier League referee Michael Oliver merely sent the Portuguese international a yellow card.

The loss only worsens Al Nassr’s current problems. The Riyadh-based club fired head coach Rudi Garcia last week amid rumors of a tense relationship with Cristiano Ronaldo.

Later, Ronaldo shared a picture of him and Garcia on Instagram with the caption: “It was a pleasure working with you. Best wishes for the future, my friend.”

Al Ittihad defeated Al Nassr in the Saudi Super Cup final in January, but this season they haven’t defeated Al Ittihad, Al Hilal, or Al Shabab in the league. Follow chopnews to get more updates on sports and football matches
