Al-Nassr's captain saw yellow for an ugly challenge during Tuesday's 2-0 defeat to Al-Hilal in the Saudi Pro League.

  • Ronaldo booked for poor challenge
  • Al-Nassr beaten 2-0
  • Miss chance to go top

WHAT HAPPENED? Ronaldo went into referee Michael Oliver's notebook after 56 minutes of the clash. The Portuguese superstar was guilty of hauling Gustavo Cuellar to the ground in a headlock, leaving the match official with little choice but to brandish the yellow card.

THE BIGGER PICTURE: The booking came on a bad night for Al-Nassr as they slipped to a 2-0 defeat. Former Manchester United striker Odion Ighalo scored two penalties to give the hosts all three points. The result leaves Ronaldo's side three points behind leaders Al-Ittihad who also have a game in hand.
