Tie at the Ciutat de Valencia. Levante and Atlético de Madrid shared points after a great effort in Levante’s stronghold. In this way, our team adds 77 points only two rounds away from the League’s end.
The match kicked off with Simeone’s team controlling it. The red and whites tried to find a chink in the tight defence of Levante. This is how the first chances of the match came. Mandzukic's headers found Marino in his two attempts. However, Levante struck first after a counterattack that ended with Barral scoring on 32 minutes. Our team soon reacted and on 35’, a collective play ended in a goal by Siqueira.
The same script was lived in the second half. Despite the domain and the red and white chances, it would be Levante which would find the way to score through Uche. Again, the reaction of Simeone’s players was rewarded thanks to a header from Fernando Torres after a corner bounced by Koke.
