At 3:30 on April 9, Beijing time, the semifinals of the 23-24 Saudi Super Cup ushered in an important matchup, with the winning streak Riyadh Crescent facing the Riyadh victory led by Ronaldo.
Ronaldo elbowed the opposing player and left the field, raised his fist to the referee when he was dissatisfied with the penalty, and kept praising the referee when he left the field, which caused heated discussions in football!
Although the 39-year-old veteran Cristiano Ronaldo is still playing amazingly, in the current Saudi football world, Riyadh Victory's city team Riyadh Crescent is extremely brave, winning 32 consecutive games in all competitions, continuing to break the football history streak record.
Crescent's top 6 foreign players started this game, Milinkovic-Savic, Neves, Koulibaly, Malcom, Michael, Bounou. The victory was led by captain Cristiano Ronaldo, Mane, Otavio, Telles, Ronaldo, Laporte, Ospina, and the team's seven foreign players played.
Once the game began, the two teams quickly went head-to-head, and although the victory was deserved, the midfield of the Crescent Moon was quite strong and the two sides were deadlocked.
In the fifth minute of first-half stoppage time, Sadio Mane sent a cross from the right, Ronaldo stretched his leg but did not touch the ball, and Otavio kicked the ball into the net. However, the referee immediately thought that Ronaldo was in an offside position and interfered with the goalkeeper, so the goal was invalid!
Seeing this, Ronaldo, his teammates and the coaching staff all stepped forward to reason with the referee, but the decision was obviously not changed. After half-time, the score remained 0-0, and although the victory was positive enough, it failed to find the back of the net, while the crescent, who remained solid, was clearly looking to build on in the second half.
In the second half, in the 61st minute of the game, Milinkovic-Savic passed, and captain Salem Dawasari scored! Riyadh Crescent successfully broke the deadlock, 1-0!
In the 72nd minute, Michael sent a cross from the right side, Malcolm followed up with a header! Riyadh Crescent scored 2 goals in 11 minutes to take a 2-0 lead!
In the 86th minute of the game, there was an unexpected scene on the field! Ali Blaich broke the ball out of the sideline and tried to get the ball to hinder the opponent's attack, Ronaldo quickly picked up the ball when he saw this, and then elbowed it, Ali Blaich fell to the ground!
Seeing this situation, the referee immediately took out a red card to Ronaldo, and the 39-year-old veteran left the field in red, receiving the first red card after joining Riyadh Victory!
Ronaldo immediately raised his fist at the referee!
Let's take another look at what happened, Ali Blaich shoveled the ball off the line and tried to get the ball to delay the opposition's attack, and then Ronaldo came quickly to pick up the ball.
Ali Blaich provoked the bull, Ronaldo made two elbow strikes, and the opponent fell directly to the ground when he was about to elbow the third time. At this time, in the nearest audience, there were fans chanting Messi.
This is not the first time that Ali Blech has provoked Cristiano Ronaldo, and he is a repeat offender when it comes to provoking football stars. Praise Ronaldo in front of Messi, praise Messi in front of Ronaldo.
At the 2022 Qatar World Cup, Blaich deliberately provoked Messi, seemed to say something and then stepped forward to slap his face! Messi ignored this person and continued to play.
In the 1/8 finals of this year's Asian Cup, the South Korean team played against the Saudi team, Ali Blaich suddenly deliberately pushed and pulled Sun Xingmin's hair! This is really a bit excessive, that is, Brother Sun has a better temper.
In the 9th minute of stoppage time in the second half, Riyadh Victory launched a counterattack, Gharib made a cross from the left, Mane calmly swept the goal, and the score was 2-1!
At the end of the game, the score was locked at 2-1, and Riyadh Crescent successfully advanced to the final of the Saudi Super Cup to meet Jeddah United, winning 33 consecutive games in all competitions, continuing to set a new record for the longest winning streak in football history.
On the other hand, since Ronaldo's arrival, Riyadh Victory has lost three times in official matches against the Crescent, and he still has not been able to score a goal and assist.
After the game, Riyadh Victory coach Luis Castro said, "Ronaldo had little contact with the opposing defenders, and the opponent was performing for no reason. The VAR referee should have reminded the referee to watch the replay. 」
elbowed his opponent and was sent off by straight red, raised his fist to the referee, and kept praising when he left the court. I have to say that Ronaldo's kick is obviously angry. What do the fans think about this?
