CRISTIANO RONALDO threw a tantrum and gestured angrily towards officials after Portugal’s 2-0 loss to Slovenia.
Roberto Martinez’s 11-game winning streak came to an end in last night’s friendly as Portugal were undone late on away from home.
Slovenia netted in the 72nd and 80th minutes to stun the visitors, who had maintained a 100 per cent record ever since the 2022 World Cup.
Al-Nassr star Ronaldo received the nod in attack after being left out of the previous win over Sweden.
But despite Portugal dominating possession, he was unable to carve out any real chances.
Ronaldo was left flattened several times as he competed with a Slovenia backline that featured Atletico Madrid goalie Jan Oblak.

The referee ignored the ex-Manchester United ace for the most-part, leaving him fuming.
And after Portugal’s late collapse, Ronaldo could not contain his anger any longer.
While walking off the pitch, cameras showed him shouting and throwing his arms around as bemused teammates watched on.
As Ronaldo headed to the tunnel, he then let rip at the assistant referee on the touchline, having already given the main official a piece of his mind.
