Playing a match at home with fans watching and shouting their lungs out to cheer is one of the biggest advantages in football. Capitalising on such an edge, Levante started off in a very good rhythm, but struggled to sustain the rhythm as the match went on.

Although the opposition played a great game, they left huge voids at the back. Despite finding themselves with such golden opportunities, the home side bottled them.

It might be quite unjustifiable to say the Valencia based club didn't show character and intent. Rather, they failed to show such character and intent at the right moments.

Barring a couple of saves in the second half, and a crossbar shot, Levante's attacking players could not come up with anything of note to trouble the league leaders' defence. The disappointing result left them stranded at 8th on the LaLiga table.
