<\/p>\nSaudi Pro League defences have been scrutinised after one defender was spotted stopping defending and seemingly walking off against Cristiano Ronaldo. <\/p>\n
Ronaldo\u2019s Al-Nassr put bottom of the table Al-Hazm to the sword on Saturday (September 2), winning 5-1 away from home.<\/p>\n
Goals from former Porto winger Otavio, Ronaldo and Sadio Mane followed first-half goals by Abdulrahman Ghareeb and Abdullah Al-Khaibari on their way to a third straight win in a row.<\/p>\n
But it was Otavio\u2019s goal to make it 3-1 that has fans scratching their heads on social media amid bizarre defending from one Al-Hazm defender.<\/p>\n

Ex-Inter Milan midfielder Marcelo Brozovic found himself on the left-hand side of the box before playing a one-two with Ronaldo, who made a darting run from the edge of the box into the channel between the home side\u2019s right-back and centre-back.<\/p>\n
But as Ronaldo took off into the space, the Al-Hazm player who had covered the third-man run of Mane into the box, bizarrely put his arms behind his back and walked out of the 18-yard box, vacating the space in the penalty box for Ronaldo to run into.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Ronaldo was played through by Brozovic before he unselfishly squared across the face of goal to Otavio who had an open goal and duly slotted home Al-Nassr\u2019s third of the game.<\/p>\n
The defending was slammed by football fans on social media with one tweeting: \u201cThis Saudi league can\u2019t be taken seriously.\u201d<\/p>\n
A second sarcastically commented: \u201cThe skills of Saudi League defenders are out of this world!<\/p>\n

While a third added: \u201cBro thinks he is on a morning walk in a park.\u201d<\/p>\n
Al-Nassr\u2019s victory made it three wins in a row to get their season back on track after they previously lost their opening two games of the season.<\/p>\n
Luis Castro has a further 16 days to add to his squad containing Ronaldo, Mane, Otavio, Brozovic, Alex Telles and Aymeric Laporte, with the Saudi transfer window not closing until September, 20.<\/p>\n
