During Portugal’s match against Morocco, a fan was ejected from the Al Thumama Stadium after throwing water at Cristiano Ronaldo.
Ronaldo was benched for the second game in a row after being rested in their Round of 16 win over Switzerland. In the build-up to the 6-1 win over Switzerland, the 37-year-old was informed by manager Fernando Santos that he was ruled out for tactical reasons, but the pair have since reconciled their differences.
The incident occurred during halftime. While the Portuguese returned to the bench, a fan appeared to throw water at him from the stands.

The unidentified man appears to be confronted by others sitting next to him before security quickly intervened, grabbing the fan and escorting him out of the stadium.
The video shared by @adriandelmonte shows the supporter being held by security.
