After Al-Nassr’s 1-1 draw with Al-Khaleej last night, Cristiano Ronaldo appeared to push an opposing coach aside as he exited the field.
Al-Nassr’s title aspirations were severely damaged by the outcome.

The visitors, who were in danger of being demoted, took the lead through Fabio Martins after only four minutes.
Alvaro Gonzalez, a former defender for Villarreal and Marseille, equalized for Al-Nassr after 17 minutes.
Ronaldo’s goal was disallowed, and his team’s inability to defeat their inferior opponents resulted in a five-point deficit to league leaders Al-Ittihad.
A member of the opposing coaching staff approached the forward, who was clearly upset, as he was leaving the field and requested a selfie.
The grumpy 38-year-old declined the strange request and appeared to push the eager employee away.
In his first 13 Saudi Pro League games, Ronaldo has scored 12 goals.
According to some rumors, he wants to leave the Kingdom after only six months, and his partner Georgina Rodriguez reportedly longs to go back to Madrid.
El Nacional, however, claims that Florentino Perez, the president of Real Madrid, would only be willing to give Ronaldo a non-playing role.
The Portuguese player may have been “fooled” by his rich deal in Saudi Arabia, according to Brazilian icon Rivaldo.
He told Mundo Deportivo: “I understand that sometimes the players are fooled by the big contract they sign in Saudi Arabia, but then life there is more closed and football is not always as easy as expected.
“So, you may be going through a phase of some disappointment and even reflection. If the money you’re getting makes up for the not-so-happy life you’re living right now.
