Gary RedknappFootball AnalystMATCH REPORT

Carlos Espi scored once as Levante UD edged Leganés 2-1 in a Club Friendly Game, wrapping up pre-season with a narrow win. It was a scrappy affair, typical of warm-up fixtures, with neither side willing to overextend before the real business begins.

The deadlock was broken on the stroke of half-time when Carlos Espi found the net for Levante, giving his side a slender lead into the break. Leganés responded through Roberto López in the 81st minute, only for Levante to snatch a late winner in the 90th minute, leaving Leganés with no time to reply. Alfred Göthler had earlier been booked for the visitors, adding to a stop-start second half.

The statistics paint an even picture—both sides shared 50% possession, and Levante took just one more corner than Leganés (3-2), suggesting a contest of fine margins rather than dominance. Carlos Espi was the standout, earning an 8.08 rating for his crucial goal and steady influence in the middle of the park. With no next fixture scheduled, Levante will take confidence from grinding out a result in a game that offered little else.
