GIF: The Ghana ‘keeper reacted to saving a Cristiano Ronaldo header like Brendan Bugler to winning a free

In case you’re not up on your hurling, that means he got very, very excited.

In case you’re not up on your hurling, that means he got very, very excited.

A Ghana side who must have been affected in some way by the high-profile departures of Sulley Muntari and Kevin Prince-Boateng are trailing Portugal by a goal at half-time, but it could have been more if it wasn’t for the intervention of their goalkeeper Fatau Dauda.

The ‘keeper made a magnificent reaction save to Cristiano’s Ronaldo header during the first-half and he produced a reaction that is practically obligatory for any inter-county hurler who wins a free during a championship match these days; Clare’s Brendan Bugler being a more enthusiastic celebrant than most.
