Levante 3-3 Sevilla: Six-Goal Thriller Ends Level After Stoppage Time Chaos

Levante and Sevilla shared six goals in one of the wildest finishes of the LaLiga season so far, as a Matchday 8 meeting at the Ciutat de Valencia ended in a 3-3 draw on Monday 12 October 2026. Three of the six goals arrived after the 90th minute, and the lead changed hands in stoppage time before Levante found a final equaliser in the 100th minute.

Sevilla led by two goals with less than 40 minutes played, and the visitors looked on course for three points. Levante refused to accept defeat, pulled one goal back, levelled the match in stoppage time, fell behind again, and then struck once more with almost the last kick of the game. The result lifted Levante out of the relegation zone, while Sevilla were left to regret a victory that slipped away twice in the closing minutes.

How the Match Unfolded

Sevilla made the stronger start and took the lead in the 13th minute. Robbie Ure opened the scoring to put the visitors in front, and Sevilla held that advantage through the rest of the first half. Levante worked hard to find a way back, but the Sevilla defence held firm until the break, and the half-time score stood at 1-0.

The second half followed a similar pattern at first. Sevilla doubled the lead in the 54th minute when Felix Correia scored, with Ure providing the assist. At 2-0, Sevilla looked comfortable, and the match seemed to be heading toward an away win. Levante had other ideas, and the response came within three minutes.

Ivan Romero pulled one goal back for Levante in the 57th minute, finishing a move set up by Roger Brugue. That goal changed the mood inside the stadium and gave the home side belief. Levante pressed hard for the rest of the match, finishing with 20 shots to 18 and 57 per cent of the possession.

The Stoppage Time Chaos

The closing stages of the match were extraordinary. Adrian de la Fuente levelled the score at 2-2 in the 92nd minute, and the home crowd sensed that a point was within reach. Sevilla responded almost at once. Isaac Romero, who had come on as a substitute, scored in the 95th minute to restore the Sevilla lead at 3-2, with Youssouf Fofana providing the assist.

The drama did not stop there. Isaac Romero was sent off in the 96th minute after receiving a second yellow card following the celebration of the goal. Sevilla were reduced to ten players, and Levante pushed everyone forward in search of one more goal. The reward arrived in the 100th minute, when Ifeanyi Ndukwe scored to make it 3-3 and complete the comeback. Three goals in stoppage time, plus a red card, turned a match that Sevilla had controlled into a draw that felt like a win for Levante.

What the Point Means for Levante

The point lifted Levante from 18th to 17th in the table, on six points, and took the team out of the relegation zone. That was a big step for a side that had been sitting in the bottom three before kick-off. The draw also prevented a third consecutive league defeat, which would have increased the pressure on the team at an early stage of the season.

The result extended the unbeaten run of Levante against Sevilla to three games, with two wins and one draw across those meetings. Coming from two goals down to take a point shows character. The late hero was Ifeanyi Ndukwe, who scored his first goal in LaLiga at the age of 18.

What the Draw Costs Sevilla

Sevilla stayed fifth in the table on 14 points after the draw. The result kept Sevilla in a strong position, but it felt like a missed opportunity. Sevilla had the chance to close the gap to fourth-placed Real Madrid to just two points, and a win would have strengthened the hold on a place near the top of the table.

The way the match ended will hurt more than the dropped points. Sevilla led twice, including a lead in the 95th minute, and still did not win. The sending off of Isaac Romero added to the cost, because the striker was shown a second yellow card and now faces a suspension. Sevilla also committed 17 fouls and picked up four yellow cards, and the team could not control the final minutes.

What Next for Both Teams

Levante will take confidence from the comeback into the next round of fixtures. The team showed fight, scored three goals, and climbed out of the relegation zone. The challenge now is to turn that spirit into a first win in four league games and to start matches better, so that another two-goal deficit is not needed to spark a response.

Sevilla will need to regroup quickly. The team remains in fifth place and in a strong early position, but the dropped points and the suspension will test the squad. The focus will be on discipline, on defending leads, and on keeping eleven players on the pitch in tight matches.

Conclusion

Levante 3-3 Sevilla was a six-goal thriller that had almost everything: an early lead, a two-goal advantage, a comeback, three goals in stoppage time, and a red card. Levante earned a point that lifted the team out of the relegation zone, while Sevilla were left to wonder how a win slipped away.
