LaLiga Table After Wednesday Match

According to a report by BBC Sport on Wednesday, October 21, 2026, Levante secured a crucial 3-1 victory over Athletic Club in their LaLiga encounter at the Estadio Ciudad de Valencia.

Levante started the game with confidence despite facing an Athletic Club side that enjoyed more possession throughout the match, and their early pressure paid off in the 20th minute when Brugué found the back of the net with a left-footed finish after Dani Requena provided the assist.

The home side doubled their advantage just two minutes later as Brugué took advantage of a mistake by Mikel Jauregizar to score his second goal of the evening, putting Levante in a strong position while leaving Athletic Club with plenty of work to do before the end of the game.

Athletic Club tried to respond before half-time, but Levante defended well to protect their two-goal lead, forcing the visitors to search for another way back into the contest after the break.

The visitors eventually reduced the deficit in the 67th minute when Alex Berenguer converted a penalty following a VAR review, giving Athletic Club hope of rescuing something from the match, but their chances suffered a major setback six minutes later when Aymeric Laporte was sent off for bringing down Dani Requena as the last defender.

Despite having more possession, Athletic Club struggled to make their numerical disadvantage count, while Levante remained organised and continued to threaten on the counter-attack until Eyong tapped the ball into an empty net in the 98th minute to secure all three points.

With the victory, Levante moved up to 11th position on the LaLiga table with 10 points, while Athletic Club remained in 13th place with nine points after suffering a disappointing defeat.
