Levante UD is defeated by CA Osasuna
CA Osasuna 2-0 Levante UD
Levante UD was defeated at El Sadar in a match where the Pamplona team scored the two goals that secured their victory during the first half. The first came in the 12th minute through Víctor Muñoz, and the second in the 35th minute, when the Levante team was at their best. The granota team had their chances but failed to convert them into goals.
The home team started with great intensity and, from the initial whistle, immediately sought the granota goal. The Levante team remained solid in defense and managed to neutralize the initial danger. The response came through Etta Eyong, who tried with a shot from outside the box that Sergio Herrera saved without issue. CA Osasuna returned to the attack, and their persistence paid off with a cross from Rubén García on the right that Víctor Muñoz headed into the goal.
The Valencians quickly regrouped. They took possession of the ball, took the initiative, and created chances. Arriaga tried his luck with a powerful shot from outside the box that forced Sergio Herrera to intervene. Álvaro del Moral's team tried to combine plays to approach the opponent's area dangerously, but they faced a rival that pulled back to protect their goal. Iván Romero, in the 29th minute, aimed at the goal with a shot from the edge of the box that the goalkeeper deflected to a corner. And just when Levante UD was at their best, the home team scored their second goal after a powerful shot from Rubén García that, unfortunately, deflected off Roger Brugué's back and ended up in the net.
After the restart, the first chances came for the home team with a double opportunity from Víctor Muñoz that Ryan saved. The granota goalkeeper made another good save minutes later to deflect the ball after a shot from Budimir. For their part, Levante UD created a good chance after a cross from Iker Losada that Boyomo cleared very close to the goal line. The Levante team tried but failed to convert their chances into goals and, in the end, returned from Pamplona with the same points in their tally.
