Raya, who joined Arsenal in an initial loan move from Brentford last summer, was making his fourth appearance for Spain.
Although the 2010 World Cup winners fell to a 1-0 defeat to Colombia, the Arsenal man wasn’t responsible for the goal conceded.
The Arsenal ace enjoyed a fairly quiet evening whilst on shift, and the Spanish press was quietly impressed with his efforts.
Marca gave Raya a 6 out of 10 rating as they suggested the Gunners man has what it takes to make it difficult for Spain first-choice Unai Simon.
‘He had a good opportunity to try to make it difficult for Unai Simon,’ they wrote.
‘He dealt with Colombia’s two shots well and without problems in the first half. Replaced at half-time by Remiro.’
Fellow Spanish outlet Sport also gave Raya a 6 out of 10 rating, writing: ‘The Arsenal goalkeeper lived very comfortably.
‘He only had to intervene in two long-range shots that he saved without problems before being substituted at half-time. In the game he proved to be precise with his feet.’
