Levante Cruises to 2-0 Victory Over RCD Mallorca

Levante secured a comfortable 2-0 home win against RCD Mallorca in La Liga on May 18, 2026, at the Estadi Ciutat de València. The result reinforced Levante’s mid-table stability while leaving Mallorca still looking over their shoulder in the relegation scrap. Goals either side of halftime ensured a straightforward evening for the home side.

The first goal came in the 28th minute. A swift counter-attack caught Mallorca’s defense out of position, with winger José Luis Morales cutting inside and curling a precise shot into the far corner. Levante controlled the tempo for the remainder of the first half, limiting Mallorca to long-range efforts that seldom troubled the goalkeeper.

Second Half Dominance

Mallorca introduced more attacking players after the break, but Levante’s compact shape made chances scarce. The hosts doubled their lead in the 63rd minute when striker Roberto Soldado tapped in from a low cross after a well‑worked set piece. The goal deflated the visitors, who struggled to create clear-cut opportunities thereafter.

Levante’s midfield duo of Pablo Martínez and Gonzalo Melero controlled the game’s rhythm, while the back line, marshalled by captain Sergio Postigo, kept Mallorca’s forwards quiet. The home side could have added a third, but a late effort struck the post.

Standings and Implications

With the win, Levante moved up to 10th place in La Liga, confirming another season of mid-table security. For Mallorca, the defeat left them in 17th, just one point above the relegation zone with only two matches to play. The pressure is now firmly on manager Javier Aguirre to rally his team for a do‑or‑die clash against fellow strugglers next week.

The match also marked Levante’s third consecutive home clean sheet, highlighting their strong defensive record at the Ciutat de València. Fans left the stadium optimistic about the club’s direction under current leadership.
