Real Madrid retains the lead, Villarreal closes in on Barça

Real Madrid players celebrate one of their goals against Levante (1-4)

For Madrid, the first minutes at the Ciutat de Valencia were complex. Iván Romero and Adrián de la Fuente forgave Thibaut Courtois in the opening quarter of an hour, while Vinicius caught fire after the 20th minute.

The Brazilian opened the scoring in the 28th minute with a remarkable toe-poke finish and, ten minutes later, assisted Franco Mastantouno to leave the match almost settled before halftime.

Karl Etta Eyong scored for Levante in the 54th minute, but a penalty by Unai Elgezabal on Kylian Mbappé in the 62nd minute buried any hope of a comeback for the Valencians. The Frenchman converted the penalty in the 64th minute and, two minutes later, took advantage of an assist from Arda Güler to leave Ryan stranded and settle the dispute.

Real Madrid, in this way, ensures finishing as leaders for one more matchday, with 18 points in 6 matchdays. Levante, on the other hand, dropped to 16th place. At the same time, Villarreal obtained a valuable away victory against Sevilla (1-2).

The 'Yellow Submarine' took the lead in the 17th minute thanks to a goal from Tani Oluwaseyi. The 'Hispalenses' equalized in the 51st minute with a goal from Djibril Sow, but Villarreal took all three points at the end with another goal from Manor Solomon in the 87th minute.

With the victory, Marcelino García's team equals FC Barcelona's line, with 13 points, but the team led by Hansi Flick maintains second place due to having a better goal difference (+13). The 'Culés' visit Real Oviedo on Thursday (21:30), with the obligation to win to be again 2 points behind Madrid.
