Cristiano Ronaldo (Alnasr), who caused controversy for making obscene gestures toward the audience, will eventually be disciplined.
"Saudi Arabia Football Federation (SAFF) disciplinary ethics committee suspended Ronaldo for one game for making obscene gestures after Alnasr beat Al-Shabaab 3-2.
In the match, Ronaldo played as the one-top striker in a 4-2-3-1 formation. Ronaldo played full time and scored a penalty kick goal in the 21st minute to help his team win.
The incident took place after the match. The audience chanted "Messi" for Ronaldo, while he repeated actions that reminded him of a certain movement with his right hand in front of his pelvis. This appears to be an action taken towards the crowd of Al-Shabaab on the opposing team.
The incident was not captured on television cameras, but it became controversial as videos filmed by fans spread widely through social media.
Ronaldo was criticized for similar behavior in the past. After the game against Alhilal in April last year, Ronaldo appeared to grab a genitalia. 토토사이트
Ronaldo will have to pay 10,000 riyals (about 3.56 million won) to SAFF, according to the committee. His team Alnasr also has to pay 20,000 riyals (about 7.12 million won).
