Ireland goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher denies Portugal star Cristiano Ronaldo from the spot (Video)

Caoimhin Kelleher already has an excellent record and reputation when it comes to penalties, and when Ireland faced Portugal in Lisbon on Saturday, he showed once more why.

Unfortunately for his team, they suffered late heartbreak as Ruben Neves scored the only goal of the match in second-half stoppage time for Portugal.

Kelleher spent a lot of time as a backup for Alisson Becker at Liverpool and finally left the Premier League champions this summer to become the No. 1 option at Brentford.

You’re a star and a top penalty taker. Are you confident, stepping in front of Kelleher to take one?

Think again.
