The incident took place in the first half injury stoppage time when Liverpool had already netted three goals.

The clip starts with Bruno Fernandes passing the ball to his national teammate. However, a timely interference from Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker meant that Ronaldo was not able to collect the ball. After losing the ball, Ronaldo ran to collect it towards the corner but not before Curtis Jones. Ronaldo battled with Jones for the ball at the touchline and later was seen lashing out at the young Liverpool midfielder by kicking the ball in his stomach. And, soon, Liverpool players and Ronaldo were seen engaging in a scrimmage.
Ronaldo was handed a yellow card by referee Anthony Taylor for the incident with several people claiming that he deserved a red card. After the match, Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp also echoed these sentiments, saying that it looked like a red card to him.
“For me, it looked like [a red card], but in the end, I got told that [Ronaldo] hits the ball or didn’t hear the whistle or whatever,” Klopp said when asked about the incident.
