Astunning victory from Levante at Real Betis has them in dreamland, with Morales putting the seal on a fabulous night’s work.
Paco Lopez showed how astute a coach he was last season, and at the Estadio Benito Villarmarin against a side known for their wonderful pass and move attributes, his Levante team didn’t let Betis have a moment’s peace.
William Carvalho still needs more time, whilst Boudebouz and Canalessuffered against a side that closed all the gaps.
Any shots from Betis’ front two therefore came outside the area.
First blood went to Levante after a brilliant assist from Jason to Roger, to score the first goal of the season.
After the break, Betis came out with a little more purpose, but then Moralesappeared to create his work of art.
The captain and leader of Levante scored a great goal that can easily finish in the top 10 of the season.
He won a headed duel more than 70 metres from goal, and just kept running.
Nobody could stop him and at 2-0 before the hour it was already game over.
A second from the same player on 94 sent Los Granotas home happy… and top of the table.
