Levante UD achieved their first home victory on a magical night. The Ciutat de València stadium vibrated with the triumph that their team achieved through hard work, dedication, effort, sacrifice, and good play. Elche CF took the lead through Álvaro, but Pablo Martínez and Dela managed to turn the score around. Injury time was heart-stopping for the Levante fans, who saw Adam B. score the equalizer, and Matturro, in the dying moments, net the goal that secured the three points for his team.

The match began with intensity. Both teams immediately sought the opposing goal. The visiting team was the first to try through Diang. His shot went close to the right post of the Levante goal. The Levante players responded with a cross from Pablo Martínez that Etta Eyong headed. The ball was caught by Iñaki Peña without any trouble. Subsequently, they enjoyed a couple of consecutive corner kicks. The blue and maroon team dominated and conveyed very good feelings on the pitch. However, Elche CF took advantage of the next approach to take the lead. They did so through Álvaro after benefiting from a series of rebounds in the area. Shortly after, the home team had the chance to equalize with a good combination between Iker Losada and Iván Romero, but the latter's header went high.

Levante UD did not give up and continued working with their sights set on the opposing goal. Carlos Álvarez and Etta Eyong tried, but they couldn't find the accuracy to convert their chances into goals.

After the restart, the Levante team found their reward with a cross from Toljan on the right that Pablo Martínez tapped in front of the goal and sent into the back of the net. With the support of the fans, Luís Castro's team kept pushing towards the rival area and tried their luck with a chance from Carlos Álvarez that Affengruber cleared with a header. The clearest opportunity came in the 66th minute after a good assist from Carlos Álvarez to Etta. The forward's shot hit Iñaki Peña's body, and Iván Romero, arriving from behind, struck the ball, which then hit Etta Eyong. Levante UD was close to scoring, and just a minute later, they achieved it.

A free kick taken by Pablo Martínez ended up in the back of the net after a header from Dela. The Levante team had turned the game around, and the crowd cheered for their team. Players and fans remained united in pursuit of victory, but injury time arrived, and the match turned chaotic. Elche CF equalized with a bicycle kick goal from Adam B., and Levante UD showed their grit and proved they never give up. They wanted the three points to stay at home and fought until the end. In a corner kick taken by Olasagasti, Matturro rose to direct the ball into the back of the net, finally allowing the Ciutat de València Stadium to celebrate the victory with their team.
