Born in Santa Fe, Sara joined Atlético Rafaela's youth setup in 1991, aged four.[1] In 2006, he was promoted to the first-team, but only made his senior debuts on 1 November 2008, starting in a 2–1 away win over Tiro Federal.

On 4 August 2012 Sara became the first Argentine goalkeeper to defend two penalties in one game, both from José Sand in a 1–1 draw against Racing Club.[2]

On 10 July 2013 Sara joined La Liga side Real Betis in a season-long loan deal, with a €1 million buyout clause.[3] He made his division debut on 25 August, starting in a 1–2 home loss to Celta de Vigo.[4]

gollark: I would prefer not to have to do complicated fiddly repairs.
gollark: I'm also somewhat worried about what happens if it breaks or something, given that support is probably annoying.
gollark: Well, do you know if they're available at sane prices in the UK?
gollark: Hmm.
