In the 74th minute, Cristiano Ronaldo received a pass from the right wing and volleyed the ball into the net of the home team Al Hilal. However, the Portuguese superstar's joy was soon extinguished when the linesman raised his flag for offside.
In response to the Al Nassr player's strong reaction, Mr. Wilmar Roldan consulted the VAR team. The semi-automatic offside technology was also used and confirmed that Ronaldo was offside. According to the graphics from the VAR room, Ronaldo's shoulder was higher than the shoulder of the last defender on the Al Hilal side. Therefore, the goal was disallowed correctly.
Ronaldo was determined to be offside.
After the referee restarted the match, Ronaldo still showed his displeasure. He even stood in the way, preventing goalkeeper Bono from getting the ball into play. CR7 was lucky not to receive a card for this action.
Ronaldo stood in the way, preventing the home team's goalkeeper from getting the ball into play.
A similar situation occurred in the Champions League match between Galatasaray and Man United. Mauro Icardi was standing level with the arm of the last defender of Man United, Victor Lindelof. However, the arm was not considered, because it is not a body part that can score goals. Therefore, the end point was counted as the shoulder.
The cut-off from the semi-automatic offside technology detected that part of Icardi's head, shoulder and knee were higher than Lindelof's shoulder, so the striker's goal was disallowed.
Ronaldo's goal was the only mark Al Nassr had in the Riyadh derby. Coach Luis Castro's team lost 0-3 and was left far behind by Al Hilal in the race for the Saudi Pro League title this season. The gap between the two capital clubs has now increased to 7 points.
