Fan THROWN OUT of Morocco vs Portugal World Cup quarter-final for appearing to throw water at sub Cristiano Ronaldo
A FAN has been kicked out during the 2022 World Cup quarter-final clash between Portugal and Morocco after appearing to throw water at Cristiano Ronaldo.
The incident took place at the Al Thumama Stadium while Ronaldo was still on the bench, having started the crunch clash as a substitute once more.
Photos show a fan appearing to throw water in the Manchester United legend’s direction from a plastic bottle.
The unidentified man then seems to be confronted by some other fans that were sitting next to him at the stands.
A video then emerged showing the fan being held back by security staff.
It has been claimed that he was then escorted out of the stadium following the incident.
Ronaldo came on as a substitute on 51 minutes on the night that saw Portugal getting eliminated from the World Cup.
Youssef En-Nesyri scored Morocco’s winner just three minutes before half-time and led his country to a 1-0 win.
En-Nesyri met a stunning cross from the left by Yahia Attiyat Allah and headed the ball past Diogo Costa.
Ronaldo endured a turbulent World Cup, which started with a bombshell interview that saw him slamming Manchester United from top to bottom.

United then sacked him with immediate effect before the five-time Ballon d’Or winner came under fire with Portugal.
The star forward was dropped to the bench in the last-16 clash with Switzerland after appearing to sulk while being substituted against South Korea in the group stage.
Shocking reports then suggested the Portugal captain threatened to leave Qatar but the national team denied those claims.
And it all got even worse with tonight’s elimination from Morocco that saw Ronaldo breaking down in tears at full-time.
