A Campaña penalty goal in the extension of the first half gave Levante an emphatic win against Real Burgos on Sunday that allowed them to follow the first two and left the Burgos team unrewarded for their good work defensively and otherwise. dissatisfaction with arbitration work.
As referee Galech Apezteguía disallowed Pablo Valcarce’s goal in the 86th minute and both the Navarrese referee and VAR starred in a clash with very few chances to score and which Levante boiled to chain the sixteenth consecutive match day without defeat.
The five defenders deployed by Burgos were a stumbling block for Levante until the final stages of the first half. Until then, Levante had only managed to reach the rival area from set pieces, but Mourad first cleared almost on the goal line to keep out Soldado’s shot and then Álex Muñoz headed in after a free kick
Ten minutes from the end of the first half, Pablo Martínez warned with a dry shot that was interrupted by Caro in a play in which De Frutos claimed a penalty. He also didn’t see the referee’s penalty on De Frutos himself before the break due to Matos’ footing, but VAR advised the review, the referee fixed it and Campaña did not fail with the maximum penalty.
Before Levante’s goal, Burgos had the best chance on a counterattack started by Mourad, but Elgezabal, alone in the area, shot high before Dani Cárdenas came out.
VAR was again the star, checking several hands from Pepelu in the first half, but Galech Apezteguía, without watching the action, did not signal a penalty and rested the players after a careful first half , which was only stimulated by video arbitration.
Joni made it 2-0 the moment he left the locker room, with a gentle shot that left the stick caressing before Caro’s sterile gaze. Closer to the goal was Pablo Martínez, with a far right foot that crashed over the crossbar. Levante were better so Juan Calero put Mumo on the field looking for a change.
Burgos took a step forward, but the game was cooled by a serious injury to Bouldini, who retired in tears after a bad move on his right knee less than ten minutes after entering the field.
At a quarter of an hour, VAR again adjusted Galech Apezteguía, who called a penalty in favor of Levante for a handball from Elgezabal, who had his arm fully attached to his body. A possible 1-1 for Burgos vanished when the referee disallowed a goal against Valcarce for a possible foul and a subsequent handball in what was the only clear arrival for Burgos in the second half.
