Veteran Australian goalkeeper Mat Ryan has produced one of the standout performances of the La Liga season, making nine saves to earn a perfect 10/10 Sofascore rating in Levante's scoreless draw with Celta Vigo.

The 34-year-old was instrumental in helping his side secure a point on the road, with Celta registering 23 shots and dominating possession throughout the contest, but unable to find a way past the former Socceroos captain.

Ryan was credited with preventing 2.08 goals according to Sofascore's expected goals on target model, with seven of his nine saves coming from inside the penalty area.

Among those were a series of crucial stops in the closing stages, including multiple efforts from Celta forward Pablo Durán, who was denied twice in the 79th minute before Ryan again came to Levante's rescue in stoppage time.

His efforts were enough to earn a perfect 10/10 rating from Sofascore, with the hosts generating 3.04 expected goals but ultimately having to settle for a share of the points.

The performance comes just a day after Ryan was omitted from Tony Popovic's latest Socceroos squad, with Australia preparing for international friendlies against Qatar and Jordan later this month.

Ryan, who has made 105 appearances for the national side, has now missed consecutive international squads, having also been absent for September's fixtures against Brazil after being controversially overlooked for the majority of Australia's FIFA World Cup campaign.

Popovic previously insisted the veteran goalkeeper remained in his plans, although Patrick Beach, Joe Gauci and Tom Glover have again been preferred for the November window.

Ryan's display helped Levante secure a valuable point as they continue their battle towards the bottom of the La Liga table, sitting 17th after 12 matches.
