CRISTIANO RONALDO was left fuming after being denied a penalty while playing for Al-Nassr on Friday.
Al-Nassr were leading Al-Raed 2-0 when the incident occurred at the 56-minute mark.

Ronaldo, who opened the scoring early in the game, made a direct run into the penalty area from the left before attempting to shoot.
But before he could strike the ball, Al-Raed defender Mubarak Abdulrahman Al Rajeh slid in and attempted to make a tackle.
Despite the 19-year-old’s attempts to win the ball, he appeared to slightly catch Ronaldo, who went tumbling to the ground.
The former Manchester United star immediately appealed for a penalty, but he was left furious when his claims were denied by the referee.
He then slammed the floor in frustration as his team-mates continued to appeal.
However, following a VAR check, the referee’s decision was not overturned.
Al-Nassr went on to win the game 4-0 thanks to goals from Ronaldo, Abdulrahman Ghareeb, Mohammed Maran and Abdulmajeed Al-Sulaiheem.
They now sit second in the Saudi Super League, three points adrift of bitter rivals Al-Ittihad.
Despite only joining Al-Nassr in January, Ronaldo is one of the league’s top scorers with 12 goals in 12 games.
