Ronaldo has netted six times already this season in the Saudi Pro League.

But he put up a stinker against the league leaders, picking up a needless booking as Al-Nassr were held to a fourth draw of the campaign.

The 39-year-old was booked just before half-time after a furious confrontation with referee Felix Zwayer.

Ronaldo remonstrated with the official as the teams walked off to the dressing rooms.

Ronaldo was also targeted with Messi chants from the travelling Al Hilal support.

He raised a sarcastic thumbs up towards the supporters as they taunted the Portuguese star in the second half.

The draw ended Al Hilal's winning start to the season, which had seen them take 24 points from 24.

On Tuesday, he blazed a stoppage-time penalty over the bar as Al-Nassr were dumped out of Saudi Arabia's biggest cup competition.

Ronaldo stepped up to take the spot-kick six minutes into added time against Al-Taawoun.

But he could only find the stands with his penalty, breaking a young fans phone in the process.
