Cristiano Ronaldo's recent record scoring-run was stopped by African goalkeeper, Carlos Kameni, the first one to hold the Portuguese in La Liga this season.
The Cameroon international, who turned in a Man of the Match performance, pulled off two sensational stops to Ronaldo strikes – one in the first half and another in the final stages of the game.
Ronaldo had scored 20 goals over the first 12 game weeks, having missed one game, but failed to add another goal to his tally against Malaga on Saturday.

His blank in the 2-1 away victory also stopped Ronaldo's record-run of scoring in 10 successive La Liga games.
The 29-year-old was closing in on Messi's record of scoring in 21 consecutive league games, but Kameni stopped this attempt.
However, Ronaldo was still his side's most influential player, assisting the goals by Karim Benzema and Gareth Bale.
With his two assists Ronaldo didn't only ensure that his side racked up their 16th consecutive victory (club record), but also pushed him up into joint-first position of most assists in the league with eight.
