One of the best soccer players of all time, as Cristiano Ronaldo is called, will spend two matches out of action. This is the decision of the disciplinary committee of the Saudi Arabian Football Federation.
The forward received a red card and was suspended from the field in the SA Super Cup semi-final match against Al-Hilal, according to Asharq Al-Awsat, for unsportsmanlike behavior.
According to the publication, in an attempt to clear the ball out of touch, Ronaldo elbowed an opposing player in the chest, causing him to fall to the turf. Having received a red "mark", the famous footballer in addition swung his fist at the referee. As a result - disqualification for two matches.
At the same time, the footballer himself did not agree with the penalty imposed on him, explaining that he did not hit the opponent, but only made a movement with his elbow in his direction. The rest of the Brazilian defender, playing for Al-Hilal, simulated.
