Levante UD earned a point against Sevilla FC in a match that was thrilling until the very last moment. The Levante players, who never stopped believing in their chances, staged a spectacular comeback in injury time to equalize a game in which the visitors had taken the lead three times. Dela, with a volley, and Ndukwe, in the final play, brought joy to the home fans.
The match began with intensity from both teams. The crowd was eager to see their team again, and the Levante players tried to capitalize on their fans' support to create chances from the very first moments. Two minutes in, Roger Brugué forced a corner kick that led to nothing, and four minutes later, Olasagasti tried his luck with a shot from about 60 meters that went wide. However, it was the visitors who opened the scoring by taking advantage of a defensive lapse. Dela almost cleared the ball before it crossed the goal line, but Robbie Ure's shot ended up in the back of the Levante net.
Levante UD sought a response, and around the half-hour mark, Dela tried his luck with a shot from outside the box that Odysseas deflected for a corner. The team in blue and red gained more possession towards the end of the first half and looked for an equalizer before the break. Sevilla FC, on the other hand, also had opportunities to extend their lead. Robbie Ure came close to scoring with a shot that went just wide of the right post, while Miguel Sierra sent the ball over the crossbar.
After the break, the Sevilla side once again threatened Levante's goal. Miguel Sierra struck a shot from inside the box that hit the crossbar. Shortly after, the visitors extended their lead with a close-range finish by Félix.
The Levante response was immediate. A good combination between Roger Brugué and Iván Romero allowed the latter to get into a scoring position and send the ball into the net, bringing Levante UD back into the game. With the score closer, both teams continued to push for goals. In the 77th minute, Thiago and Roger Brugué combined inside the box in a play that ended with a shot from the number '7' blocked by the visiting goalkeeper. Shortly after, Levante UD came close to scoring again after a corner kick that Roger Brugué headed, but Odysseas managed to save.
Time was running out, but the Levante players never lost faith. The team kept pushing until injury time, when the match reached a truly chaotic conclusion.
Dela thrilled the crowd by scoring the equalizer with a spectacular volley that seemed to reward Levante's persistence. However, the joy was short-lived, as three minutes later, Isaac Romero put Sevilla FC ahead again with a left-footed shot from outside the box. Refusing to give up, Levante UD continued to search for a goal and found their reward in the final moments. Ndukwe appeared to score the goal that secured the final draw, sparking euphoria among the Levante fans, who celebrated a point earned through persistence, character, and faith until the very end.
With this result, the Levante side salvaged a draw against a Sevilla FC team that remains unbeaten away from home in a match that once again demonstrated that this Levante UD never gives up.
