Levante
Levante and Sevilla shared six goals in a breathless 3-3 La Liga thriller decided in the 100th minute by Ifeanyi Ndukwe’s thunderous equaliser, capping a comeback that saw Sevilla’s Isaac Romero score and get sent off in stoppage time.
Sevilla Strike First Through Ure
The visitors silenced Estadi Ciutat de València after just 13 minutes when Robbie Ure latched onto a loose ball to rifle Sevilla ahead. Levante’s frustration grew when Adrián de la Fuente saw yellow for a cynical tug in the 39th minute, their midfield overrun by Sevilla’s rapid transitions.
Correia Doubles Sevilla’s Lead
Felix Correia – already booked early in the second half – thought he’d put the game beyond doubt in the 54th minute, slotting home after Ure’s clever cutback. VAR confirmed the goal, and Levante boss Luís Castro reacted immediately: throwing on striker Petar Ratkov and winger Thiago Cruz Fernandez.
Levante Find Hope Through Romero
The changes sparked life into Los Granotes. Within 60 seconds, Iván Romero bundled in Roger Brugué’s cross to make it 2-1. Suddenly, Sevilla’s discipline frayed – Andrés Castrín and manager Luis García Plaza both carded as Levante’s 56% possession told.
Stoppage Time Chaos
De la Fuente, earlier cautioned, became the unlikely hero with a 92nd-minute equaliser, before Sevilla substitute Isaac Romero looked to have won it in the 95th. Chaos erupted when Romero received a second yellow for shoving Ndukwe during celebrations. The Nigerian had the last word, lashing home in the 100th minute to salvage a point Levante’s 20 shots merited.
What This Means
A devastating blow for Sevilla after leading twice, their top-four hopes dented by Romero’s rash dismissal. Levante, unbeaten in three, showed the fight that could steer them clear of relegation. Both sides now regroup before Matchday 9 – this stalemate leaving as many questions as answers in La Liga’s congested midtable.
