Levante frustrates Atletico Madrid and revives the hopes of Real Madrid and Barcelona
Levante dealt another painful blow to Atletico Madrid and beat him at home at the stadium "Wanda Metropolitano" 2/0 today, Saturday, in the twenty-fourth stage of the Spanish Football League, which witnessed today also a victory by Elche against Eibar 1/0.
After the two teams drew 1/1 at the Levante stadium last Wednesday in a postponed second-stage league match, Levante today beat Atletico Madrid with two goals scored by Jose Luis Morales in the 30th minute, and Jorge de Frutos in the fifth minute of the match's stoppage time.
Levante raised his score to 31 points to climb to eighth place, while Atletico Madrid stuck at 55 points in the lead, six points ahead of Real Madrid and nine points in front of third-placed Barcelona.
The defeat of Atletico Madrid in today's match revived the hopes of Real Madrid and Barcelona to reduce the difference through the same stage, as Real Madrid will meet Valladolid later today and Barcelona's meeting with Cadiz on Sunday.
