Kameni, reflecting Málaga’s good defence work

Cameroonian-born goalkeeper, Carlos Kameni has conceded 14 goals in 16 LaLiga matches so far this season. This is the second best record of MCF goals conceded at this point in the year, within 15 seasons in the elite.

Following 16 League matches, Kameni ranks third in the list of goalkeepers who have conceded the fewest goals – behind Atlético’s Oblak and Madrid’s Navas – with a lower average of goals conceded per game (0’88).  At this point in the season, only Willy Caballero in 2012/13 (10 goals conceded in 16 games) let in fewer goals than the African keeper in the top flight of Spanish football.

Goals conceded up until the 16th match of the season in the First Division– Málaga CF:

1999-00: Contreras/Rafa (27 goals conceded); 2000-01: Contreras (25); 2001-02: Contreras (21); 2002-03: Contreras (24); 2003-04: Arnau/Calatayud (19); 2004-05: Calatayud (22); 2005-06: Arnau (23); 2008-09: Arnau/Goitia (26); 2009-10: Munúa (23); 2010-11: Arnau/Galatto/Rubén (35); 2011-12: Willy Caballero/Rubén (24); 2012-13: Willy Caballero (10); 2013-14: Willy Caballero (22); 2014-15: Kameni (15) and 2015-16: Kameni (14).

Kameni, going for 300 matches between the League and Cup

The Blue and Whites number ‘1’, in playing against Levante UD, will exceed his record of 54 consecutive League matches (he achieved this with Espanyol in 2004/05 and 2005/06) between 2014/15 and 2015/16 with MCF.  Kameni is currently the player who has taken part in the most consecutive LaLiga matches.

In turn, if he plays against Levante, it will be his 300th official match in Spain, in both the First Division and Copa del Rey.  Kameni has taken part in 226 (222 in LaLiga and 4 in the Copa del Rey) of his 299 matches with RCD Espanyol, whilst with Málaga CF he has accumulated a total of 73 matches (66 in LaLiga and 7 in the Copa del Rey).  This totals 288 First Division games and 11 Copa del Rey matches.
