Ronaldo waves Saudi-flag scarf after match interrupted by missile alert Cristiano Ronaldo lapped up adulation in Al-Nassr’s Asian Champions League win at home, when the captain scored his team’s second goal and waved a Saudi scarf afterwards as a security threat caused a long delay in Riyadh. The Saudi Pro League champions beat ⁠Uzbekistan’s Neftchi 3-1 in the AFC Champions League Elite at Al-Awwal Park on Monday, after a delayed start to the game in the capital due to a threat of missile attacks from Yemen’s Houthis. Kick-off was delayed after Saudi Arabia’s Civil Defence issued a safety warning 15 minutes before ⁠the scheduled start time in Riyadh, which has been targeted by missiles fired from the Houthis in recent days.
