Which goalkeeper ranked supreme in La Liga this weekend?
Malaga travelled to Real Madrid this weekend tasked with the challenge of being the first team to keep a clean sheet at the Santiago Bernabéu in the league since Valencia managed the feat in April 2012. Not only that, but Madrid had also won all six of their previous league encounters.
However, the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema failed to overcome an inspired performance from Carlos Kameni, whose man of the match display could not be beaten by any player across the weekend’s action in La Liga (9.07).
The Cameroon international produced eight saves during a dazzling display that earned Malaga a valiant 0-0 draw in the Spanish capital. Added to that, Kameni’s ability to come and claim and clear crosses (5) relived pressure on his side, who could only muster 34.7% of the possession on Saturday.
Kameni did make the only error of the game from both sets of players, but even then it wasn’t enough for Rafa Benitez’s side to take advantage, as Madrid dropped from first place to third over the weekend.
Ronaldo was one that particularly toiled during their frustrating stalemate. The Portugal international had 14 shots on goal, but could only test Kameni with two attempts as his WhoScored rating of 6.65 was his lowest in La Liga since Feburary (5.63).
