In the 57th minute of the game, the Portuguese football star was booked by English referee Michael Oliver for grabbing midfielder Gustavo Cuellar in a headlock and slamming him to the ground.
Oliver, who was a special guest for the top clash, was kept busy throughout the match at Al-Hilal Stadium.
He awarded two penalties to the home side, both of which were successfully converted by former Manchester United striker Odion Ighalo. Oliver also initially awarded a penalty to Al Nassr, but after a VAR review, reversed his decision.
