Levante relegated after Malaga defeat

Levante have been relegated from the Primera Division.

Late goals from Duje Cop and Gonzalo Castro broke Levante's hearts and confirmed their relegation from the Primera Division as Malaga won 3-1 at La Rosaleda.

Levante, bottom of the table and six points from safety, knew defeat would see them return to the Segunda and things looked grim when Cop put the hosts ahead. However, Jose Luis Morales' quick reply gave them hope.

Rubi's side controversially had a goal ruled out for offside midway through the second half which would have seen them take the lead and they never recovered from that disappointment, conceding a second goal to Cop before Castro's first for the club sealed Levante's fate.
