In their latest Saudi Pro League encounter, Al Nassr emerged victorious against Al Ahli, with Cristiano Ronaldo scoring the sole goal of the match from a penalty kick.
Throughout the game at King Abdullah Sports City, Al Ahli fans displayed hostility towards Al Nassr, particularly after Ronaldo and his teammates prematurely celebrated a disallowed goal just before half-time.
This action angered home fans, leading some to throw water bottles at the visiting team.
Unfortunately, one of these bottles struck Otavio on the head, causing him to fall to the ground.
