What an evening for Ifeanyi Ndukwe!

The Austrian jewel celebrates his starting eleven debut for the club in the eighth round of Spain's LaLiga, in UD Levante's home match against FC Sevilla. After an absolutely crazy match, the final score is 3-3.

Ndukwe was decisively involved twice. The highlight is his goal to level the score in the tenth minute of stoppage time.

Ndukwe's Error

However, the match starts particularly bitter for the youngster: After a completely mishit backpass, Ure gets to the ball and slots it into the empty net for a 1-0 lead for the visitors (13').

Even after that, Sevilla is the better team, with clearer chances. Milan loanee Fofana has the best opportunity for a second goal, but fails to beat the goalkeeper after a counter-attack (32').

Levante Doesn't Give Up

After the break, the visitors pick up the pace again and are rewarded shortly after with their second goal. Correia taps in after a Ure assist (54').

However, Levante doesn't give in and gets back into the game with a Romero goal (57'). Shortly before the end, Ndukwe's club even manages to equalize thanks to a goal from Adri (90'+2).

Ndukwe Scores

But this time, Sevilla manages the appropriate response. Substitute Romero scores after Fofana's assist to make it 2-3 (90'+5) and then also receives a yellow-red card.

When everything pointed to a defeat, Ndukwe struck. Levante threw everyone forward, and the tall center-back was in exactly the right place for a rebound, pushing the ball over the line for his first goal of the season and a crucial point (90'+10).
