Ronaldo, who opened the scoring early in the game, made a direct run into the penalty area from the left before attempting to shoot.
But before he could strike the ball, Al-Raed defender Mubarak Abdulrahman Al Rajeh slid in and attempted make a tackle.
Despite the 19-year-old’s attempts to win the ball, he appeared to slightly catch Ronaldo, who went tumbling to the ground.
The former Manchester United star immediately appealed for a penalty, but he was left furious when his claims were denied by the referee.
He then slammed the floor in frustration as his teammates continued to appeal.
However, following a VAR check, the referee’s decision was not overturned.
Al-Nassr went on to win the game 4-0 thanks to goals from Ronaldo, Abdulrahman Ghareeb, Mohammed Maran and Abdulmajeed Al-Sulaiheem.
