3-3: Sevilla throw away a two-goal lead in chaotic stoppage time against Levante

Sevilla once again paid a heavy price in the final moments of an away game. After taking a 0-2 lead and looking in full control, the Andalusian side collapsed in a frantic stoppage-time period that featured three goals and a red card, settling for a 3-3 draw against a Levante team that avoided dropping into the relegation zone.

• Sevilla led 0-2 through goals from Robbie Ure and Félix Correia but surrendered the win deep in added time.
• Isaac Romero made it 2-3 with a powerful left-footed strike and was sent off for his celebration in front of the crowd.
• Dela and Ndukwe scored for Levante, with the equalizer coming after a series of rebounds in the box.
• Luis Castro's side earns a point that keeps them provisionally clear of the bottom places.

Early Sevilla strikes: Ure and Félix Correia punish Levante's high line

Sevilla came out determined to settle the game quickly and soon found the opener. Félix Correia gave an early warning in the fifth minute when he fired over the bar with the goal at his mercy. Levante's defense struggled whenever the visitors accelerated, particularly with the movement of Fofana and Robbie Ure.

The Scottish striker made no mistake in the tenth minute. A misplaced pass from Ndukwe allowed Ure to race through on goal, round goalkeeper Ryan and slot the ball home with ease. The goal reinforced Sevilla's control, built on a midfield that had both numerical and physical superiority through the work of Agoumé, Kochorashvili and Fofana.

The pattern continued after the break. Miguel Sierra rattled the crossbar and, moments later, delivered a quality ball into the box. Ure flicked it on with his head and Félix Correia finished from close range to make it 0-2. Referee Cordero Vega initially ruled out the goal for offside, but VAR confirmed the play was legal.

Levante had only threatened in the first half through a long-range effort from Dela. After falling two goals behind, Luis Castro turned to his bench with the introductions of Thiago and Ratkov to spark the attack, and the change quickly paid off.

Iván Romero pulls one back and the Ciutat de Valencia comes alive

The home side's goal came from Iván Romero, who connected with a ball that deflected off Kike Salas to beat Vlachodimos and bring the score to 1-2. With the gap reduced, the crowd got behind the team and Levante began to believe a comeback was possible. Brugué had two clear chances to equalize, but Sevilla's goalkeeper denied him on both occasions.

Stoppage time turned a match Sevilla had under control into an end-to-end fight with three goals and a red card.

Chaotic added time: Isaac's spectacular goal, a red card and the final 3-3

Stoppage time changed everything. Levante equalized in the 92nd minute through a thunderous strike from Dela that made the Ciutat de Valencia explode. Sevilla feared a repeat of their collapse at the RCDE Stadium, but Isaac Romero launched a counter-attack and unleashed an outstanding left-footed shot to beat Ryan and restore the lead at 2-3.

The joy lasted only seconds. Isaac was shown a second yellow card for telling the crowd to be quiet, leaving Sevilla down to ten men for the closing minutes. With Levante pouring forward, Ndukwe found the net after a series of rebounds inside the area to complete the 3-3.

What the draw means for Sevilla and Levante in the table

The point feels like a missed opportunity for Sevilla, who leave Valencia with the bitter feeling of having wasted a two-goal lead away from home for the second consecutive week. The Andalusian side continues to show vulnerability late in matches and missed a clear chance to take three points on the road.

For Levante, the draw carries far more weight. Luis Castro's team avoided a defeat that would have placed them in the relegation spots and kept their survival fight alive with a hard-earned point against an opponent that outplayed them for long stretches.
