Who is the goalkeeper who "danced" in the goal against Peru?

(CNN Spanish) --
He touched the ball only once.
He touched it with both hands, for a second.
That was enough for Australia to qualify for the World Cup.
The prodigious hands belong to Andrew Redmayne, substitute goalkeeper for the 'Socceroos' who entered the 120th minute of the playoff match against Peru to cover the penalties.
His hands are as amazing as his feet when it comes to dancing under the crossbar.
The hero of the night, Andrew Redmayne.
Pure charisma and dance.

Few knew him before this June 13.
With his hipster beard and almost 2 meters tall, he goes through everything, except for being a footballer.
Less for a penalty saver.
But at 33 years old and with only three international matches, his public life has risen to fame.

He pulled dances, turns and jumps.
His circus show was intended to distract the Peruvian players, and he ended up driving the referee to despair, who unsuccessfully called his attention.
From the stands and through the giant screens that broadcast the game, the fans shouted "Clown!" every time they scored a penalty from eleven steps.
He danced, swung and jumped last in front of Alex Valera.
He stopped the decisive shot and gave the World Cup ticket to his team.

Andrew Redmayne, "The dancing goalkeeper".
He is called the new Australian hero.
