Ndukwe shines: Levante falls to new league leaders
The Austrian talent impresses against Atletico Madrid. The Colchoneros still temporarily jump to the top of the table.
Atletico Madrid is provisionally the new LaLiga leader: The Colchoneros defeated Levante UD 2-0 away on the eleventh matchday.
In the 16th minute, former Admira player Hjulmand seemingly scored to make it 1-0, but his goal was disallowed due to offside. A few minutes before halftime, Grimaldo scored the opening goal from a tight angle (36.).
After the break, Hancko's goal for 2-0 was disallowed – again for offside – (54.). Shortly after, Lee's shot hit the crossbar (55.). Simeone finally sealed the win in the 62nd minute (62.).
Ndukwe Shows His Talent
Ifeanyi Ndukwe played the full 90 minutes for Levante for the fifth consecutive match.
The Austrian talent completed 93 percent of his passes (51 out of 55), registered 70 touches, and made eight defensive contributions. He also won all six of his duels.
Atletico Madrid moves past FC Barcelona with 28 points; the Catalans can reclaim the top spot in their evening match against Deportivo Alaves (9:00 PM). Levante is in 16th place with ten points.
