Leaders Al Hilal moved seven points clear of their closest challengers as a late Aleksandar Mitrovic double came after Sergej Milinkovic-Savic’s opener.

It also ended a 20-game unbeaten streak for Al Nassr, leaving Ronaldo fuming.

Home side Al Hilal took the lead in the 64th minute, but there was plenty of drama between that and Mitrovic’s late brace.

Ronaldo thought he’d scored the equaliser in the 73rd minute, but his stunning first-time volley was just offside, something the 38-year-old furiously disputed.

Then with five minutes to play, Ronaldo lept for a Sadio Mane cross, and got caught up in an almighty tumble.

Morocco hero Yassine Bounou came out to punch the ball clear, but completely missed and ended up on top of Ronaldo.

The Portuguese rolled around in agony, and although replays showed the original punch didn’t make contact, it did appear Bounou came down on his head after.

That was backed up by the former Real Madrid superstar sporting a swollen bottom lip, needing treatment before repeatedly shaking his head at the referee.

He then crossed his arms over suggesting he’d had enough, and he was later seen despondent with his hands on his hips as Mitrovic ended the contest.

The former Manchester United man wasn’t the only one who let his emotions get the better of him, with manager Luis Castro following his lead.

Castro showed the fourth official the earlier offside on his phone, and later made his way down the touchline to protest the Bounou challenge.

Both managed to stay on the pitch, but that wasn’t the case for Al Hilal’s Ali Al Bulayhi.

The midfielder was seen taunting the away fans behind the goal after Al Hilal’s second, and referee Wilmar Roldan took no time brandishing a red card.
