Cristiano Ronaldo punished at half-time after another display of fury in Saudi Arabia

Cristiano Ronaldo could not contain his fury as he was denied a chance to end his Al-Nassr goal drought during Tuesday afternoon's cup clash against Abha.

The superstar striker, 38, has failed to find the back of the net in his last two Saudi Pro League fixtures and was frustrated again during the King Cup quarter-final tie. Sami Al-Najei and Abdullah Al-Khaibari gave Al-Nassr an early two-goal lead but Ronaldo was clearly livid when the referee blew the half-time whistle as he attempted to burst out of his own half on the counter-attack.

There had been two minutes of added time earmarked and the referee drew the first half to a close with 47:24 on the clock, so the Manchester United legend could have few complaints about his surging run being cut short.
