Levante UD vs Real Betis

Levante produced their best performance of the season, blitzing Real Betis 5-2 at the Ciutat de Valencia in a wild, end-to-end affair. The standout moment came from Roger Brugué, whose second-half brace turned a tight contest into a rout and earned him the man-of-the-match award. Adrián De La Fuente headed Levante in front in the 24th minute before Marc Bartra leveled for Betis at 34'. Right on the stroke of halftime, Bardeli pounced after goalkeeper Valles strayed too far off his line, only for Rodrigo Riquelme to head an immediate reply for Betis. That was as close as the visitors got: Brugué struck twice in the second half, at 55' and 70', both headers, before Jon Olasagasti completed the rout deep into stoppage time. Betis also had a goal chalked off for offside earlier in the game. The result is Levante's first win of the campaign, lifting them to four points and easing the pressure after back-to-back defeats to start the season. For Betis, it snaps their unbeaten start and exposes a defense missing several regulars through injury, a costly night on the road.
