Goalkeeper Emil Audero had a memorable debut in La Liga even though Rayo Vallecano could not create a surprise against Real Madrid. He made 7 saves but still had to pick the ball out of the net 4 times in the 1-4 defeat at the Bernabeu.
After joining Rayo Vallecano on loan from Como, the 29-year-old goalkeeper immediately created a new milestone for Indonesian football when he became the first player of this country to play in the highest league in Spain.
Audero has played for clubs in Italy for many years. In the 2025-2026 season, he was the number one choice in the Como goal, playing 32 matches in Serie A and keeping a clean sheet 10 times. However, the appearance of Robert Sanchez affected Audero's position in Como, forcing him to look for a new destination to have the opportunity to play regularly.
Audero's debut was even more special when the opponent was Real Madrid. After not being used in the match against Racing Santander, he was given a starting spot at the Bernabeu. Under constant pressure from the home team, the Indonesian goalkeeper faced a series of dangerous situations.
Despite conceding 4 goals, Audero still left his mark with 7 saves and was scored 6.6 points by Sofascore. These numbers partly reflect the efforts of the 29-year-old goalkeeper on his first appearance on the biggest stage of Spanish football.
