Cristiano Ronaldo angrily clashes with opponent after frustrating Al Nassr draw
By Tom Gott
Cristiano Ronaldo accused an opponent of 'not wanting to play' after a 0-0 draw with Al Feiha that saw his Al Nassr side lose ground in the title race.
Al Nassr enjoyed the majority of possession and dominated the stats sheet in Sunday's game but could not find a way through Al Feiha, who sit 11th in the 16-team Saudi Pro League.
After the game, Ronaldo's frustrations appeared to get the better of him as he was seen shouting at a number of opposition players, even telling one: "You don't want to play".
Ronaldo also appeared to encourage one player to 'zip' their mouth closed.
It was undoubtedly a frustrating result for Ronaldo and Al Nassr, who now sit three points behind league leaders Al Ittihad and no longer have their title fate in their own hands, having already been defeated by the new leaders back in March - two months after Al Ittihad came out on top in a cup game.
That loss to Al Ittihad also promoted a frustrated response from Ronaldo, who was seen kicking a water bottle in anger as he left the pitch.
Despite a slow start to life in Saudi Arabia, Ronaldo has now scored 11 goals in 10 games for Al Nassr, although all of those goals have come across five games.
