Levante fight back from two down in six-goal thriller with 10-man Sevilla

Match summary

Levante and Sevilla shared six goals in a breathless 3-3 draw at the Estadi Ciutat de València, a match that had everything: two Sevilla goals in the opening hour, a three-goal Levante fightback, and a stoppage-time sequence that produced three goals, a second yellow card and a red for the same Sevilla player.

Sevilla looked in control when Facundo Correia doubled Rafa Ure’s 13th-minute opener on 54 minutes, but Iban Romero’s instant reply turned the game. Dela levelled from the spot in the final minute, Nnamdi Ndukwe put Levante ahead in the sixth minute of added time — and Sevilla, down a man after Romero’s second booking in the aftermath, still found an equaliser through the same Romero before the final whistle.

Turning points

• 13′ — Ure puts Sevilla in front early.
• 54′ — Correia makes it 0-2, assisted by Ure.
• 57′ — Romero pulls one back for Levante within three minutes.
• 90′ — Dela levels from the penalty spot in stoppage time.
• 90+ — Ndukwe completes the comeback at 3-2, before Romero’s second goal and second yellow seal a chaotic 3-3 finale.

The bigger picture

The point moves Levante to six from seven matches, still in the bottom three but with a first league draw-turned-thriller to show for their home form. Their 20 shots and 57% possession were rewarded at last after a run of one win in five.

Sevilla stay fifth on 14 points, inside the Europa League places, but a second consecutive away stumble — after leading 2-0 and conceding three times in the last half-hour — will concern Luis García. The visitors’ xG of 2.53 says the chances kept coming; a back line that has now shipped 12 in eight did the rest.
