With João Félix in the starting lineup, Atlético de Madrid couldn’t do better than bringing a point from Ciutat de València, home of Levante (Rúben Vezo also in eleven).
After the 2-2 at the reception to Real Sociedad, the mattresses gave the same result at home of the penultimate placed. At 8 minutes, Antoine Griezmann’s header opened the scoring for the visiting team, but the tie would come in the first half, with a penalty converted by Macedonian Enis Bardhi, in the 37′.
In the second half, Atlético de Madrid took over the expenses of the game and got the advantage through Matheus Cunha. The former Hertha Berlin player, signed last summer, started in the 73′ and in the 76′ gave the best sequence to an excellent assist from Argentine Rodrigo de Paul. However, the bucket of cold water was yet to reach the champion and, at 88, the VAR confirmed a new penalty for Levante, with the same Bardhi making the final 2-2
The Madrid team now has 19 points, the same as Rayo Vallecano, in 5th place. Levante remains second from bottom and has six points.
