Levante beat fellow
strugglers Celta 1-2 to move three points clear of them in the table. The
locals had the better of the early chances, Nuñez shooting wide,
Oubiña having another shot punched clear by Molina and Nené
having a strike disallowed for a clear offside. However Reggi got the first for
the visitors with a hotly disputed penalty after referee Rubinos Pérez
ruled that Tamas had fouled Alvaro, and a more clear penalty by Esteban on
Ettien was turned down minutes later.
Oubiña and Tamas both
failed to convert chances for Hristo Stoichkov's team either side of half time,
and they paid the price when Riga made it two for the visitors with an angled
shot after controlling Descarga's cross. Celta got one back through Baiano
later on after picking up a pass out of midfield from Nené, but they
couldn't prevent a fourth defeat in a row which leaves them in next to bottom
spot in the table. |
