Ronaldo made a direct run into the penalty area from the left before attempting to shoot. But before he could hit the ball, Al-Raed defender Mubarak Abdulrahman Al Rajeh tackled him, and Ronaldo tumbled to the ground. He immediately appealed for a penalty, but he was left furious when the referee denied his claims.
