During a Riyadh derby match between Al-Hilal and Al-Nassr, Nigerian forward Odion Ighalo scored two penalty goals to secure a 2-0 win for his team.
After scoring the second goal, Ighalo imitated Lionel Messi’s famous celebration by kneeling on the ground and raising both arms towards the sky.
Meanwhile, Cristiano Ronaldo, who was playing for Al-Nassr, had a frustrating game as he lost his first Riyadh derby and was taunted by opposition fans chanting Messi’s name.
Ronaldo also received a yellow card for a foul and was seen making an obscene gesture towards Al-Hilal fans as he left the field.
Ighalo will play again in the King’s Cup of Champions semi-finals on Sunday, while Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr will compete in the same competition a day later against Al-Wehda.
