Points shared between Levante UD and CD Leganés at the Ciutat de València Stadium
Levante UD and CD Leganés shared the points at the Ciutat de València Stadium. A draw that did not satisfy the Valencians after a match in which the clearest chances for the home team were created during the first half. Lack of accuracy in the final meters prevented Levante from going into halftime with an advantage on the scoreboard.
During the first forty-five minutes, the Levante team had possession of the ball and had clear chances to take the lead on the scoreboard. On two occasions, the ball hit the post... The first of them occurred at 17 minutes after a shot by Dani Gómez that hit the left post, although the referee later disallowed the action for offside. The blue and red team continued to try with an incursion by Álex Valle that the defense cleared and a cross by Dani Gómez that the "5" finished and also cleared by the defense. Javi Calleja's team put all their effort into searching for the goal, but it resisted. Carlos Álvarez also caused a "wow" in the stands after a messy play in the area. The ball fell to the feet of the Andalusian, and after his shot, the ball hit the post.
After these offensive actions by Levante UD, it was CD Leganés' turn with a shot by Franquesa that Andrés Fernández cleared. The rebound was picked up by Miramón in the area, and Álex Valle deflected his shot for a corner. After this visitor's approach, the Granota team went on the attack again, and they did it with a good combination between Carlos Álvarez and Dani Gómez. The striker's shot went high. Shortly after, Carlos Álvarez and Álex Valle understood each other perfectly to approach the opposing goal with danger, but Miramón appeared to send the ball out for a corner. In that corner kick, Sergio Lozano's shot also ended in a corner.
After the restart, the visitors scared the Granota fans by putting the ball into Andrés Fernández's net through Sergio González after a free-kick. The referee, alerted by VAR, reviewed the action and disallowed it for offside. After this scare, Levante quickly recovered, but goal-scoring opportunities in this second half took longer to appear. To provoke them, the Granota coach sought the freshness of Fabrício, who reappeared on the field after being sidelined since the end of December when he suffered a hamstring injury in his right leg. In the final moments, CD Leganés could have taken the lead with another free-kick. Jorge Sáenz sent the ball into the net, but the action was reviewed and disallowed for offside.
