Surpassing De Gea, Indonesian goalkeeper sets impressive record in Serie A

(Dan Tri) - Goalkeeper Emil Audero created a big surprise when he rose to the top of the list of goalkeepers with the most saves in Serie A after 3 rounds.

Audero's excellent performance helped Cremonese FC hold the home team Verona to a 0-0 draw in the early morning of September 16. In this match, the 28-year-old goalkeeper successfully made 9 saves, turning Cremonese's goal into an "impregnable fortress".

With excellent judgment and reflexes, Audero continuously denied the opponent's clear scoring opportunities. Not only was he solid in goal, Audero also showed incredible composure in reasonable situations, completely mastering the 16m50 area.

This performance helped Audero not only receive a score of 9.2 from experts but also receive high praise from the media and fans.

After his excellent performance against Verona in round 3, Audero officially rose to the top of the list of goalkeepers with the most saves in Serie A. With a total of 17 successful saves, the Indonesian goalkeeper surpassed many other famous goalkeepers such as David De Gea (Fiorentina - 13 times), Franco Israel (Torino - 12 times) and Japanese national team goalkeeper Zion Suzuki (11 times).

Audero's brilliant form is one of the main driving forces helping Cremonese FC have a strong start in Serie A. After 3 rounds, his team has won 7 points and is sitting comfortably at the top of the rankings.

Audero’s consistency and impressive form in Serie A is a big bright spot for the Indonesian national team. With goalkeeper Maarten Paes still recovering at his club, Audero’s performance could be the deciding factor in his inclusion in coach Patrick Kluivert’s squad for October.

In the fourth round of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, Indonesia will face big challenges when they face hosts Saudi Arabia and Iraq. Having a goalkeeper of Audero's caliber in the squad will bring confidence and strengthen the defense, helping the archipelago team to keep their hopes of reaching the finals alive.
