Furious Criano Ronaldo lashes out at referees after being denied three penalties | Football News
Criano Ronaldo was livid at the match officials and vented his ire at the referees during Tuesday’s AFC Champions League match between Al-Nassr and Shabab Al-Ahil.
Ronaldo left the pitch fuming at half time after three separate penalty appeals were turned down before the break.
Not only did Ronaldo remonstrate with officials but also shouted: “wake up!”.
Thereafter he was also seen pushing away a man near the touchline.
However, at the end of the game, Al-Nassr advanced to the group stage of the Asian Champions League after three late goals in a 4-2 win over Shabab Al-Ahli of the United Arab Emirates.
Ronaldo’s team trailed 2-1 before Sultan Al-Ghannam headed the equalizer in the 88th minute.
Brazilian attacker Anderson Talisca then scored his second of the game in stoppage time before Marcelo Brozovic sealed it before the final whle.

The win means Al-Nassr joins fellow big-spending Saudi Arabian clubs Al-Hilal, which has signed Neymar, Al-Ittihad and Al-Fahya in the group stage.
The draw for the 32-team tournament, which starts next month, will be made on Thursday in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
While Ronaldo will be there, the biggest name playing in the eastern half will miss out. Brazilian midfielder Oscar could not prevent Shanghai Port from losing 3-2 to BG Pathum United of Thailand.
