Concedes twice Saturday
Cardenas recorded two saves and allowed two goals in Saturday's 3-2 victory over Racing Santander.
Analysis: Cardenas allowed two goals in the first 28 minutes of Saturday's contest, but he and his defense locked down after that and pulled off the comeback victory. Cardenas has struggled since coming in for the injured Augusto Batalla (leg), allowing eight goals and making eight saves in two and a half matches. If his poor form continues, recent loan signing Emil Audero could be given a chance to start during Batalla's extended absence.
Five saves despite loss
Daniel Cardenas recorded five saves and allowed five goals in Monday's 5-2 defeat versus Barcelona.
Analysis: Cardenas stopped five of the 10 shots he faced during Monday's defeat. That's certainly not a bad return, but against this sort of volume and quality, it was always going to be difficult for Cardenas to do much of anything. He will hope to make more of some easier matches coming up.
Makes 10 saves in start
Daniel Cardenas recorded 10 saves and allowed one goal in Saturday's 2-1 victory over Deportivo Alaves.
Analysis: Cardenas was handed the start as part of a rotated lineup to allow Augusto Batalla the rest he needs ahead of the Conference League final against Crystal Palace, and he responded with an outstanding display, making 10 saves to play a huge part in securing the win.
Allows three against Sociedad
Cardenas had five saves and allowed three goals in Sunday's 3-3 draw against Real Sociedad.
Analysis: Cardenas continues in a starting role for a third match Sunday, earning a solid five saves but still conceding three goals. This comes after a clean sheet last outing, still with only one in his three appearances. The club is now set for a midweek Conference League match before facing Getafe on Sunday.
First clean sheet in win
Daniel Cardenas made four saves and secured a clean sheet in Thursday's 1-0 victory against Espanyol.
Analysis: Daniel Cardenas made four saves and three clearances Thursday to record his first clean sheet of the campaign in Rayo Vallecano's 1-0 road victory over Espanyol. The backup keeper has relieved starter Augusto Batalla in Rayo Vallecano's most recent two fixtures due to suspension and a thing injury. If Batalla remains on the shelf, expect Cardenas to make his third appearance of the campaign Sunday when Rayo Vallecano hosts Real Sociedad.
