He was once nicknamed 'Penaldo' for his obsession with penalty goals. Cristiano Ronaldo did not reduce the performance of being fouled in the opponent's D box to earn the penalty. Now his other form was seen. The Portuguese forward of Al Nasr returned the penalty! Saudi club Al Nasr drew goalless with Iranian club Persepolis in the AFC Champions League group stage match in Riyadh on Monday night. Ronaldo set a new example of sportsmanship in this match. Instead of being happy with the penalty, he protested the referee's decision.
In the second minute of the match, Ronaldo was hit by an opponent's defender in the D box of Persepolis. Persepolis players surrounded the referee when he blew the whistle for the penalty. Surprisingly, Ronaldo also joined them and asked the referee to reverse the decision of the penalty. He claimed that it was not a foul. After discussing with the video assistant referee, the Chinese referee Ma Ning changed the decision.
After canceling the penalty, Al Nasr became a team of 10 after defender Ali Lazimir's red card in the 17th minute. But in the end, the team did not have to be in danger because of Ronaldo's generosity. Al Nasr advanced to the knockout stages of the AFC Champions League from top of the group with a goalless draw.
