Picked up ball in midfield and ran on to curl shot past Molina 1-1. 50.
Alvaro. Ran in from edge of area to head Robert corner wide of keeper.
Levante and Celta shared
the points in a 1-1 draw, a result which kept the visitors in the top half of
the table and left their hosts just two places above the drop zone. With less
than a minute on the clock Baiano picked up the ball in midfield and ran on to
curl a spectacular shot past Molina, his fifth goal in as many matches.
From then on though they sat
back to defend, limiting their opponents to a possible penalty for hands by
Angel, and a shot by Courtois. But five minutes in to the second half the
locals equalised, Alvaro getting above the defence to head home a corner by
Laurent Robert, who had been brought on at half time.
Levante should have won it
after that, Tommasi going close and Ettien having three shots blocked in a row
by Pinto, Placente and Angel, who headed the last effort off the line. Alvaro
headed wide and Ettien and Riga both went close late on, but Celta held on to
keep up their impressive away record. |
