Emil Audero becomes first Rayo player to win La Liga save award
The Indonesia goalkeeper won October’s honour for stopping an Enes Unal header during a 1-1 draw against Getafe.
Indonesia goalkeeper Emil Audero has won La Liga’s October save-of-the-month award, becoming the first Rayo Vallecano player to receive the honour. He beat fellow contenders Andriy Lunin of Real Madrid and Angel Fortuno of Espanyol.
The winning stop came against Getafe on 20 October. Enes Unal headed towards the bottom-right corner of Rayo’s goal, but Audero reacted to turn the ball away. His intervention helped Rayo finish the match with a 1-1 draw.
Rayo congratulated Audero on winning the award, known as Parada Del Mes. He follows Athletic Bilbao goalkeeper Unai Simon, who took the August honour, and Real Betis keeper Alvaro Valles, September’s winner.
La Liga introduced the award in the 2024/2025 season. Barcelona goalkeeper Joan Garcia leads the winners with 4 awards, followed by Jan Oblak and Marko Dmitrovic with 3 each. Diego Conde and Sergio Herrera have each been selected 2 times.
