RONALDO WAVES OFF HIS OWN PENALTY IN AL NASSR DRAW

Cristiano Ronaldo in yesterday’s Asian Champions Cup qualifying game rejected the penalty awarded by the Referee.

After the referee indicated a penalty kick, when Cristiano fell in the box, Ronaldo woke up and went to the referee and told him that it was not a penalty so it should not be given. Later, the referee, Ma Ning, went to VAR to satisfy himself and found that it was not a penalty and overturned his decision..

Cristiano Ronaldo’s honesty helped to nullify a penalty he was awarded as his 10-man Al-Nassr side held on to draw with Persepolis of Iran 0-0 in the Asian Champions League on Monday.
