Isaac Romero’s 90th-minute lead vanishes as Levante draw 3-3 with Sevilla

A late lead lasts seconds

Sevilla led 1-0 at half-time through Robbie Ure, who scored in the 13th minute. Felix Correia doubled that advantage in the 54th minute, assisted by Ure, to make it 0-2. Levante answered three minutes later when Iván Romero scored from Roger Brugué’s assist, reducing the score to 1-2.

Adrián de la Fuente Barquilla then made it 2-2 in the 90th minute. Sevilla regained the lead almost immediately through Isaac Romero, assisted by Youssouf Fofana, but Ndukwe’s 90th-minute goal completed the 3-3 comeback.
