Deportivo Levante 1-1 after Leo Román's late mistake

Deportivo La Coruna had the game in hand after Bil Nsongo scored in the 63rd minute, but Leo Román's mistake in the 82nd minute let Levante pull it back through A. Requena. The draw at Deportivo La Coruna vs Levante left both sides in the same rut they arrived with, and Deportivo will feel they let two points slip in front of 28,437 at Riazor.

Deportivo's missed chance

Bil Nsongo's opener should have given Deportivo something firmer to build on. He was their top-rated outfield scorer, with a 7.57 rating, and the flow of the match was there for Antonio Hidalgo's side once they had the lead.

They still had one big chance to finish it off. Yeremay Hernández stole the ball and Jonathan Asp Jensen hit the crossbar inside 10 minutes of coming on, which only made the late equaliser harder to swallow.

Leo Román's 6.44 rating tells the story of the error that followed. The keeper's mistake opened the door for Requena, who was Levante's standout performer on 8.2.

Levante leave with a point again

Levante did not play like a side in control for long stretches, but they kept going and got something from the night anyway. Europa Press said the draw meant both teams stretched their winless run to five matches, and Levante remain 17th.

That leaves Deportivo eighth, which is still a decent platform but not where they wanted to be after a home game they led for nearly 20 minutes. The irritation is obvious, because this was a chance to turn a solid opening into a result and they let it go in the final stages.

A point is better than nothing for Levante, but the draw does little to hide the run they are carrying into the next round of fixtures.
