The Madrid-born goalkeeper reached the record when he lined up in José Bordalás's starting eleven for the third-round fixture in Pamplona. That start took him past Larrañaga's mark, which had topped this list for years, after he had equalled it against Racing in the previous round.

The run began on 13 August 2021 at Mestalla, on the opening day of the 2021/22 season against Valencia. His last league appearance on the bench came on the final matchday of the previous campaign. Since then he has not missed a single league start: more than five straight seasons between the posts and under three different managers — Míchel, Quique Sánchez Flores and José Bordalás.

The club announced that same Monday that the board had approved the Gold and Diamonds Badge in recognition of the goalkeeper's career and of the milestone reached. "There is a reason we renewed him for four years so that he can retire here. We have approved in the board that he be given the gold and diamonds badge. It is not easy to be an undisputed starter for five years in a row," said the president, Ángel Torres. The club has not specified when the award will be presented.

Beyond the run itself, Soria has now made 305 appearances in the azulón shirt across LaLiga, the Copa del Rey, the Europa League and the Conference League, including the match at El Sadar. He is one of the few players at the club to have taken part in two separate European campaigns.

In his ninth season at Getafe, the goalkeeper is already fourth on the club's all-time appearance list. Last season he moved past Damián's 295, and ahead of him remain Djené, Angelín — who finished on 319 — and Caballero, who tops the list with 335.

The club also places the run among the great goalkeeping records for consistency in Europe's five main leagues, alongside those of Sepp Maier in Germany, Dino Zoff in Italy, Brad Friedel in England and Fabien Cool in France.

The milestone came, however, on a night without a collective reward: Getafe lost 1-0 and the only goal of the match was a penalty converted by Ante Budimir, who beat Soria himself. The goalkeeper had not conceded from any of the previous four spot-kicks he faced, with three saves and one effort off target.
