Iván Romero delivered a decisive brace to give Levante UD a 2–0 victory over Sevilla FC in a Primera Division Matchday 33 encounter on 23 April 2026.
The hosts broke the deadlock in the 38th minute. Jon Olasagasti slipped a well-timed pass into Romero, who finished to put Levante 1–0 up and reward a disciplined first-half display. The goal stood as the only strike before the interval.
Sevilla’s evening began to fray early on when Akor Adams went into the book in the 10th minute. Levante’s Oriol Rey was cautioned midway through the first half, underlining a competitive midfield battle. Ugo Raghouber and Lucien Agoume both received yellow cards around the hour mark as the tempo and tension increased.
Both coaches turned to their benches in search of a momentum shift. Levante made a notable first-half change with Víctor García replacing Kareem Tunde on 42 minutes. In the second half, Carlos Álvarez and Kervin Arriaga entered for Raghouber and Olasagasti on 63 minutes, while Sevilla responded soon after by introducing Djibril Sow and Jose Angel Carmona in a double change on 65 minutes, followed by Peque and Alexis Sánchez as the visitors chased an equaliser.
Levante, however, struck the decisive blow in stoppage time. In the 90th minute plus three, Arriaga set up Romero for his second of the night, sealing the 2–0 result and condemning Sevilla to defeat. The Levante forward was booked shortly after, one of several late cautions that included yellow cards for Sow and Isaac for Sevilla.
Detailed data on possession, shots, and other match statistics beyond goals, cards, and substitutions was not available at the time of writing.
The win strengthens Levante’s position in the Primera Division table, while Sevilla leave Valencia empty-handed after failing to find a response to Romero’s clinical finishing. Full match information can be found at Ballaxy, with team profiles for Levante UD and Sevilla FC.
