At the start of this season, Al Nassr met Al Hilal, at that time 5-time Balon d'Or winner Ronaldo's side lost with a score of 2-1. Ronaldo himself was red-carded in that match, he initially received a warning for protesting excessively at the referee. Ronaldo was finally sent off for carrying out a rude action on an opposing defender in the 86th minute which was the crucial moment that occurred in the semifinals of the Saudi Super Cup.
