Al Hilal vs Al Nassr Highlights, Saudi Super Cup semifinal, Cristiano Ronaldo, Al Nassr’s captain, got a red card in the Saudi Super Cup semifinals against Al Hilal in Abu Dhabi. He got a straight red card and is expected to miss the next three matches. Al Nassr lost 2-1 in the semifinals.
Cristiano Ronaldo, Al Nassr’s captain, was sent off early in the Saudi Super Cup semifinal match against Al Hilal in Abu Dhabi. Ronaldo was sent off in the 86th minute for violent conduct on an Al Hilal player, resulting in a clash between the players. Ronaldo received a straight red card for the incident, and he is expected to miss the following three matches.
A video surfaced of Ronaldo raising his fist in an attempt to hit the official, but he restrained. The Super Cup exit increases the likelihood that Ronaldo will go without a trophy since his transfer to Saudi Arabia in 2023.
Al Nassr is out of the domestic cup and the Asian Champions League, and they are 12 points behind leaders Al Hilal with seven games remaining in the season. In the Thursday final, Al Hilal will take on Karim Benzema’s Al Ittihad, who defeated Al Wehda 2-1 in the earlier semifinal, in an attempt to win a record-tying fourth trophy.
Al Hilal vs Al Nassr: Why did Cristiano Ronaldo get a Red Card?
In the 86th minute of a match, Cristiano Ronaldo elbowed Ali Al Boleahi, sparking a brawl among the players. Ronaldo received a red card and sarcastically congratulated the referee before leaving the pitch. Later, he received a yellow card for dissent after Otavio’s goal was disallowed owing to Ronaldo’s effort to play from an offside position.

It’s unlikely that Cristiano Ronaldo raised his fist to punch the referee, but he shouldn’t have moved his hand at all. Given his football stature, the theatrics in the first half, the manner he elbowed his opponent in the chest, and the reaction following the Red Card were unexpected. The Al Nassr captain is expected to miss the following three matches after receiving a straight red card. Al Nassr suffered a 2-1 loss in the semifinals. Sadio Mane scored a late consolation for Al Nassr, but Salem Al-Dawsari and Malcom scored for Al Hilal, who advanced to the Saudi Super Cup final.
