However, the captain and no.7 shouldn’t have been on the pitch by the time his goals were scored.
As Ronaldo set himself ready for a free-kick, Dara O’Shea petulantly kicked the ball away but that led to Ronaldo raising his hands. A direct red card if the rules are interpreted correctly.
“He probably shouldn’t raise his arms but it’s nothing dangerous.”
