Al-Nassr star Cristiano Ronaldo collided with Al-Hilal defender Ali Al-Bulayhi during the Saudi Pro League match on Friday evening.
Ronaldo was less than impressed with what he perceived as a play by Al-Bulayhi and pretended not to hear as his opponent pounded away at him.
Former Liverpool and Bayern Munich winger Sadio Mane, one of Ronaldo's Al-Nassr teammates, was also seen sarcastically clapping Al-Bulayhi.
Al-Bulayhi was later sent off in the closing stages of the match after receiving two yellow cards.
However, Ronaldo was left hugely frustrated as Al-Nassr suffered a 3-0 defeat to their title rivals.

Ronaldo and Al-Nassr will hope to bounce back in their next league match at home to Al-Riyadh. Before that, they will face Maldives' Istiklol in the AFC Champions League.
So far this season, Ronaldo has scored 18 goals in 20 appearances for Al-Nassr in all competitions, while providing nine assists.
