VIDEO: Carlos Kameni palms away Cristiano Ronaldo's penalty
Carlos Kameni wasn't willing to sit back and let Cristiano Ronaldo conquer the Costa del Sol.
One minute after he opened the scoring in Sunday's La Liga fixture between Malaga and Real Madrid, Ronaldo wasted no time in continuing his assault, earning a penalty kick for Los Blancos when he was brought down by Weligton after playing a one-two with Marcelo.
However, to the delight of Malaga's supporters, Kameni stepped up and denied Ronaldo of back-to-back goals in heroic fashion.
While Kameni isn't the first 'keeper in La Liga to save a penalty from Ronaldo ...
3 - Kameni is the fouth goalkeeper to save a Cristiano's penalty shot in La Liga. Brake

... the Cameroonian really seems to know how to get inside the Portuguese superstar's head and is among La Liga's greatest-ever shot-stoppers when it comes to saving penalties.
#FACT - Cristiano shot 3 pens against Kameni, just scored one (one to the post, one saved).
