Levante Edges Out Albacete in Tense Valencia Match
Levante secured a 1-0 victory over Albacete at the Estadio Ciudad de Valencia in a tense Segunda División matchday 40 encounter. The game, officiated by Manuel Angel Perez Hernandez, was characterized by its physicality and numerous cards. An own goal by Pepe just before halftime (45th minute) proved to be the decisive moment. Albacete’s chances were hampered by three yellow cards (Pepe 3′, Fidel 43′, and a red card for J. Costa in the 65th minute). Levante also received a yellow card, for O. Rey in the 90th minute. Despite playing with a numerical disadvantage, Albacete put up a fight, but ultimately lacked the cutting edge to overcome the own goal. Statistics show a slight edge for Levante in possession (54% to 46%), although the number of shots on target was relatively even (6 for Levante and 4 for Albacete).
