Levante UD player ratings v Real Betis as Roger Brugué inspires victory | OneFootball

Levante UD beat Real Betis with Roger Brugué scoring twice, while Dela, Bardeli and Olasagasti also stood out in a goal-laden game. According to Superdeporte, their player-by-player analysis highlighted decisive moments at both ends.

Dela opened the scoring from an Olasagasti corner. Rodrigo Riquelme equalised, then Bardeli struck from distance just before the break to catch Álvaro Valles.

A shaky set piece allowed Betis to make it 2-2, with Mathew Ryan short of authority despite an earlier stop from Riquelme. Brugué then headed in after Bardeli’s assist, and later made it 4-2 when Iván Romero’s effort came back off the post.

Nacho Pérez faded after a positive start and lost Riquelme for his goal. Mandi settled as minutes passed, and Manu Sánchez coped with Antony but tired late with limited cover.

Oriol Rey marked his 100th Levante appearance with early control before an error in build-up for the 1-1, then dropped closer to the centre-backs. Bardeli’s pressing and first goal as a granota capped a standout display.

Olasagasti was heavily involved, supplying the opener and later scoring with a header from an Etta Eyong delivery. Thiago Fernández was explosive cutting inside when Héctor Bellerín blocked the flank, his influence waned as the workload told.

Up front, Iván Romero battled defenders and found space in the box more often, but could not beat Valles. Brugué’s leadership around the area proved decisive.
