Levante and Athletic shoot with wet gunpowder in the Ciutat

MADRID, 19 Nov. (EUROPA PRESS) –

Levante and Athletic Club have inaugurated this Friday the fourteenth day of LaLiga Santander with a goalless draw at the Ciutat de València (0-0), a result that moves away the European train for Bilbao and that makes Javier Pereira’s men continue without add your first victory of the course.

Neither granotas nor rojiblancos, who faced the national team break with a league defeat, were excessively ambitious in a match without great chances and little fluid, perhaps also motivated by the flooded state of the grass.

Two shots by Iñigo Martínez and De Frutos unleashed hostilities in Orriols, where Bardhi claimed a penalty before the quarter hour for a foul in the area that Munuera Montero and the VAR did not consider punishable. The referee also did not decree the maximum penalty in a possible Campaign nudge on Yeray at 20 minutes.

With the rain intensifying, the injuries of Malsa and Asier Villalibre marked a second half in which the scoreboard did not move. With this, those of Marcelino García Toral remain seventh (19), one point behind the continental positions, while the Levantinists (7) are penultimate to four units of salvation.
