Román Scores 91st‑Minute Winner on LaLiga Debut as Celta Edge Levante 2–1

The late strike lifts Celta into safer mid‑table territory after a long spell against ten men exposed lingering flaws.

Overview

  • VAR upgraded Iñaki Vencedor’s early foul to a straight red, leaving Levante with ten from the 24th minute.
  • Óscar Mingueza opened the scoring on 40 minutes, Arriaga equalized on 66, and substitute Miguel Román settled it in stoppage time on his top‑flight debut.
  • Levante improved after halftime under Julián Calero’s tweaks, using direct play to unsettle Celta despite the numerical deficit.
  • Etta Eyong saw an overhead kick saved by Radu and later hit the post from the penalty spot after a handball by Javi Rodríguez.
  • The result gives Celta a second consecutive league win and extends a run of stronger results than performances under Claudio Giráldez.
