Barcelona claimed a 4-2 win over Levante in LaLiga, racing into a three-goal lead before the hosts scored twice late and Karim Adeyemi answered in the 90th minute.

Match Summary

The visitors were in front after five minutes through Xavi Espart, Raphael Dias Belloli with the assist, and Lamine Yamal doubled the lead before the game was 20 minutes old. Belloli provided again. Levante thought they had a foothold later in the half through Daniel Requena Sánchez, but that effort was ruled out and did not count. Around the interval Gerard Martín and Hugo Sotelo were both booked, and Barcelona went in two goals to the good.

Soon after the restart Yamal converted a penalty to make it three. Levante kept shooting and finally scored through Iván Romero with a little more than ten minutes remaining. Roger Brugué added a second in the 88th minute and the gap was a single goal. Karim Adeyemi, set up by Marc Bernal, scored in the 90th minute to restore the two-goal margin and close out the result.

Key Moments

Barcelona's first-half control, built on that early scoring spell, left Levante needing a strong second half just to stay in the fixture. The penalty after the break was the moment that seemed to kill the contest, stretching two into three before Levante had settled again. The late home surge still mattered because two goals in a short spell made the score 3-2 and forced Barcelona to find one more. The 90th-minute strike then shut the door, converting a nervous finish into a two-goal win.

Match Statistics

Barcelona dominated the ball with 74 percent possession against Levante's 26, and they took five corners to three. The shot numbers told a different story. Levante had 13 attempts to Barcelona's 12 and put seven on target to six. Each side finished with one yellow card and neither team saw a red.

What the Result Means

Barcelona sit first in La Liga with 12 points from four matches and a goal difference of 15, four wins in their last four. Levante are 13th with five points from four games and a goal difference of zero. Their recent run is one win, two draws and one loss in their last four. Seven points separate the two sides.
