Levante ran out 5-2 winners over Real Betis at the Estadi Ciutat de València on Saturday, 29 August 2026, in a game that had goals flying in from the start. It was 2-2 at half-time, so nobody in the ground could have called how this one would end. Betis actually edged the ball more, holding 60% possession to Levante's 40%, and had the extra shot overall, 20 to 19. But Levante were far sharper in front of goal, putting 10 shots on target compared to just 6 for the visitors, and that clinical edge made the difference in the second half. Betis will feel they had enough of the ball and enough corners, eight against Levante's five, to have taken something from this. Instead they leaked three more goals after the break and slipped to a heavy defeat. The one shining light for the visitors was Marc Bartra, who picked up the Man of the Match award with an 8.3 rating despite finishing on the losing side. It's the sort of result that will sting more the longer Betis dwell on it.
