The effort of Levante UD goes unrewarded

Levante UD had to give their all in the match against RC Celta after being reduced to ten players near the first half-hour of the game. The Levante players fought, gave their all, and left everything on the field until the end of the match, but their effort went unrewarded. The visitors took the lead through Mingueza. The Granota team equalized with a goal from Arriaga, and Román, in stoppage time, scored the goal that gave his team the victory.

The first notable chance came in the 12th minute with a dangerous cross from Carreira that Ryan cleared. The Levante team tried to approach the opposing area with good combinations between Roger Brugué and Etta Eyong. Despite this, neither side managed to create clear goal-scoring opportunities.

Near the first half-hour of the match, Levante UD was reduced to ten players after Vencedor was sent off with a red card. Far from giving up, the Levante team responded with a bicycle kick from Etta Eyong after a cross from Víctor García, which Radu deflected for a corner. Shortly after, the Valencians had a golden opportunity from the penalty spot, but Etta Eyong's shot hit the post, and the rebound was sent over the crossbar by Brugué. RC Celta immediately reacted and tested Ryan, who made a double save to prevent the ball from going into his net after a shot from Ferran and a header from Borja Iglesias. Just a minute later, the Vigo team took the lead with a powerful shot from outside the area by O. Mingueza. With the score at 0-1, both teams headed to the locker rooms.

After the restart, the Galician team tried to extend their lead with a shot from Bryan that went close to the left post of the Levante goal and a header from Borja Iglesias that went over the crossbar. Levante UD, down to ten men, showed their fighting spirit and responded with a shot from Etta Eyong that the goalkeeper deflected for a corner. Carlos Álvarez took the corner kick, and after a header extension from Elgezabal, Arriaga appeared to collect the ball and send it into the back of the net.

In the final stretch, RC Celta created a dangerous chance with a shot from Borja Iglesias in front of the goal that went wide. In stoppage time, the visitors scored the second goal that secured their victory. Román was the one who sent the ball into the back of the net, leaving the Granota team's tremendous effort unrewarded.
