Cristiano Ronaldo sent off as Al-Nassr beaten in Saudi Super Cup

Portugal star Cristiano Ronaldo lost his head in a Saudi Super Cup game against Al-Hilal.

His Al-Nassr were taking on the best team in Saudi Arabia and were unable to get a positive result.

During the semi final, Ronaldo had an issue with Ali Al-Bulaihi, who was stopping him from taking a throw-in.

Ronaldo then appeared to throw an elbow in his direction, before then stamping on him as well.

He even appeared to try and punch the referee as he was given a red card in the contest.

The two sets of players were then involved in a mini brawl as the game veered out of control.
