Ronaldo was visibly annoyed that a potential counterattack had been stopped short, with his team leading 2-0.

Al Nassr won the game 3-1 to reach the semi-finals, but it marked the second game in a row where Ronaldo let his frustrations show after failing to find the net. Last Thursday, the Al Nassr captain kicked a water bottle as he stormed down the tunnel after the 1-0 defeat to title rivals Al Ittihad.
