Espanyol – Levante

Espanyol’s home ground proved too much for Levante as the Catalans cruised to a 3‑0 victory, cementing their place in eighth with seven points from five matches (two wins, one draw, two defeats and a +2 goal difference). The win widened the gap to Levante, who linger at 13th with five points and a –2 goal margin after one win, two draws and two losses. The result also settled the head‑to‑head this season in favour of Espanyol, who now hold a perfect record over their rivals. With the three points, Espanyol edge closer to the European spots while Levante remain mired in the lower mid‑table scramble.
