Abusive chants and bottle thrown at Eray Cömert mar Levante v Valencia derby

Levante UD’s derby against Valencia CF on Sunday finished 0-2, but the match was overshadowed by incidents recorded by the LaLiga delegate.

According to Superdeporte, three reportable behaviours were logged during and after the game.

Pepelu was repeatedly targeted by a section of the home support, with a chant branding him a rat clearly audible at various stages.

From the away end, Valencia followers also sang an offensive line that labelled anyone not jumping a toad while bouncing in unison.

After the final whistle, Eray Cömert celebrated by lifting a corner flag from one end and heading towards the other to mark the win with his own supporters. Some Levante fans viewed this as a provocation, and in the ensuing tension a bottle thrown from the crowd struck the Swiss defender.
