Cristiano Ronaldo, the forward for Al Nassr, was given a one-game suspension after he seemed to make an offensive gesture after their 3-2 victory over Al Shabab.
After the final whistle, Ronaldo cupped his ear before continuously pumping his palm forward in front of his pelvic area towards the Al Shabab supporters, who were chanting Lionel Messi’s name.

The Saudi Football Federation’s (SAFF) Disciplinary and Ethics Committee verified this on Wednesday.
The Portugal captain has been fined 10,000 Saudi riyals ($2,666), which he will pay to the Saudi Football Federation and 20,000 riyals to Al Shabab to cover the costs of the complaint filing fees, according to the committee that said the judgement is not subject to appeal.
