Last Match of the Season at Ciutat de València Sees Goal Debuts for Andrés García and Carlos Espí
Levante UD and AD Alcorcón faced their penultimate match of the league competition with one goal in mind: to win. Both needed to secure victory, and for Levante, they also had to hope for favorable results in other matches to keep their chances alive for pursuing their respective goals. After a first half with barely any chances and no goals, Levante took the lead with goals from Andrés García and Carlos Espí, the first for both players. However, the visitors fought until the end and managed to equalize.
Both teams played a first half with few shots on goal, with only one attempt from the visitors. The home team had more possession, but both sides struggled to create dangerous opportunities in the opponent's area. AD Alcorcón came closest to scoring, hitting the crossbar twice. The first time was in the 13th minute with a shot from Jacobo Glez., and the second was in the 43rd minute with a strike from the edge of the area by Víctor G., which, after deflecting off Oriol Rey, hit the far post. Between these two chances, E. Addai tried from outside the box, but Andrés Fernández diverted the ball to a corner. For Levante UD, the most notable action was by Carlos Álvarez, around the half-hour mark, with an individual effort that saw him enter the area and attempt a shot, but the visiting defense cleared the ball to a corner at the last moment.
After the halftime break, both teams came out with more intensity, seeking to score. Levante hovered around the rival area with the presence of Cantero, while AD Alcorcón tried their luck through Jacobo Glez., but his shots went off target. As time passed, the urgency to score grew, and the scoreboard began to change. Andrés García opened the scoring with a great left-footed shot from outside the box. Following this first goal, changes were made in the Levante lineup, and four minutes later, one of the substitutes experienced a moment he will never forget. Youth player Carlos Espí capitalized on a great assist from Carlos Álvarez to score, despite the pressure from defenders, inside the area, sending the ball into the back of the net. Both Andrés García and Carlos Espí marked their debut goals for Levante.
Despite the 2-0 lead shown on the scoreboard, the visitors did not give up and troubled the home side. Víctor García reduced the deficit by scoring from a corner kick. Roger Brugué had a chance for Levante UD in a one-on-one situation, and in stoppage time, Alcorcón scored the equalizer with a header from Dyego Sousa, who had another opportunity in the final seconds but was denied by Andrés Fernández, who deflected his shot.
