Getafe 3 - 0 Levante : Alvaro Vazquez brace guides Getafe to victory

Posted Monday, September 28, 2015 by PA

Getafe secured a 3-0 home victory over Levante to leave the visitors languishing in La Liga's bottom three.

Two goals from the impressive Alvaro Vazquez and a third from Emiliano Buendia, all in the game's final 10 minutes, secured victory when a goalless draw had looked likely.

It was Levante who first threatened when Simao Mate headed towards goal from a corner but saw his effort saved by Getafe goalkeeper Vicente Guaita.

Getafe's first chance came from Victor Rodriguez from the edge of the box but the forward could only force a save from Levante's Ruben.

After Levante's Deyverson headed over from Jefferson Lerma's cross in the second half, Alvaro Medran curled another shot just wide of the post.

Getafe were not to be deterred, however, and continued to increase the pressure on their struggling opponents. Rodriguez shot towards the bottom left corner, to which Ruben responded with an athletic, diving save.

A crucial goal looked like it may elude them all evening but finally in the 81st minute it came and that opened the floodgates.

Vazquez met Damian Suarez's cross into the box and nodded beyond Ruben from close range to make the score 1-0.

As Levante pushed for an equaliser, Buendia was gifted too much space and capitalised with a low strike in the first minute of injury time to put the result beyond doubt.

A minute later, Vazquez wrapped it up and secured a second victory of the season.
