Al-Alami trailed by a goal in the first half as Jean-David Beaguel scored a spectacular overhead kick to hand the away side the lead at Mrsool Park. Ronaldo was seen fuming before going down the tunnel. He expressed disgust on his own bench in what seemed like a rant against the team's tactics.

The Portuguese had a frustrating outing, too. While his overall performance was decent, Ronaldo was unlucky in front of goal. Al-Wehda goalkeeper Munir Mohamedi brilliantly denied the 38-year-old twice. After producing a point-blank range stop in the first half, the Moroccan saved Ronaldo's header spectacularly in the second half.

Al-Wehda were down to 10 men in the 53rd minute when Abdullah Al-Hafith received his second yellow of the game after bringing down Cristiano Ronaldo outside the penalty area. Al-Alami, though, failed to capitalize on the advantage, with Ronaldo striking the bar in the 82nd minute with a left-footed strike from inside the box.

The five-time Ballon d'Or winner bore the brunt of the criticism after the game, especially for his gesture towards his bench. One fan wrote on Twitter:

Cristiano Ronaldo's game against Al-Wehda by numbers

Cristiano Ronaldo faced criticism for his performance during Al-Nassr's defeat against Al-Wehda. Hence, the question may arise about how the superstar performed during the game. Below, we take a closer look at his numbers from the game.

Ronaldo had two shots on target and completed two of his four dribbles. He hit the woodwork once and completed 32 passes with a 91% accuracy. The 38-year-old also made two key passes and won four ground duels.

While he failed to get on the scoresheet, it was a decent outing on a personal level for the Portugal captain. Al-Nassr, though, have now lost two back-to-back games across competitions. They were beaten by Al-Hilal in the Saudi Pro League on Wednesday.
