CAMEROON'S KAMENI CARLOS STOPS CHRISTIANO RONALDO FROM CLAIMING THREE POINTS (see video here)

Cristiano Ronaldo missed a penalty as Real Madrid dropped points they could ill afford to squander with a 1-1 draw at Málaga that allowed Barcelona to build a nine-point lead over their great rivals.
Barcelona, who won 2-1 at Las Palmas on Saturday, have 63 points to Real’s 54 with 13 matches remaining.
Atlético Madrid, who play at home to Villarreal later on Sunday and visit Real next Saturday, are level on points with their city rivals.
Ronaldo put Real ahead when he rose unmarked in what TV replays showed was an offside position to head a Toni Kroos free-kick over Carlos Kameni in the 33rd minute for his 22nd league goal of the season.
He was denied a second three minutes later when Kameni dived to his left to save the striker’s penalty after he had been brought down by Weligton.
Málaga scored a deserved equaliser in the 66th minute when the central defender Raul Albentosa, unmarked in the middle of the box, volleyed home a cross from the left.
“Málaga are a great team, they made it tactically difficult. Today we failed but we won’t surrender, we’ll fight to the end,” the Real left-back Marcelo said. “The draw tastes like a defeat.”
The home side would not have been flattered with a victory as Real were indebted to good goalkeeping from Keylor Navas to deny Charles twice, Juanpi and Duje Cop.
Kameni also made saves from Sergio Ramos and Jesé, but Málaga were the more cohesive team and Real missed the thrust of a centre-forward with Karim Benzema absent through injury.
The only consolation for the Real Madrid coach, Zinedine Zidane, was that the draw at least extended his unbeaten run in his new job to eight matches in both La Liga and the Champions League.
“We did a good job, you can see teams find it hard to score against us,” said Albentosa, who is on loan at Málaga from Derby County.
Malaga are 10th in the standings with 31 points, 10
