Cameroon striker breaks six-month drought to give Levante priceless win in La Liga Levante secured a dramatic 3-2 victory over 10-man Osasuna in La Liga on Friday, with Cameroon striker Karl Etta Eyong scoring his first goal in over six months to lift the club out of the relegation zone. The match, played at Valencia’s Mestalla Stadium, saw a thrilling turnaround as the hosts overcame a two-goal deficit to claim third place from bottom in the table. Etta Eyong, who had gone 22 matches without a league goal since October, delivered a stoppage-time header to seal the win. The 28-year-old forward, who had previously scored six goals in his first 10 league matches of the season, had been a key figure for Levante but had struggled to find form in recent months. His late strike, which came after he replaced Pablo Martínez in the 76th minute, sent the home crowd into euphoria and marked a crucial moment for the struggling side. The match began with Osasuna taking an early lead, as Jeremy Toljan conceded an own goal just 160 seconds into the game. Ante Budimir extended the visitors’ advantage eight minutes later, netting his 18th league goal of the season with a low strike into the corner. Levante, however, responded with a spirited second-half surge. Víctor García, the team’s full-back, played a pivotal role in the comeback, scoring twice in a span of two minutes to level the scores. García’s first goal came from a corner, as he darted to the far post to convert the set piece. His second, a 30-meter free-kick, was a spectacular effort that sailed over the goalkeeper’s head, leaving the Osasuna keeper with no chance.#osasuna #valencia #mestalla_stadium #levante #karl_etta_eyong
