Campaña saves Levante with 2-1 late goal over Las Palmas

Levante midfielder Jose Campaña scored a stoppage-time goal against Las Palmas, leading his side to a 2-1 home win in the 31st round of La Liga.

The victory helped Levante move eight points clear of the relegation zone, and worsened the position of struggling Las Palmas, which remains in second-to-last place in the La Liga standings, reports Efe.

Jorge Andujar Moreno, known as "Coke," opened the scoring for Levante 35 minutes into the match, held at the Ciudad de Valencia stadium in Valencia, Spain.

David Garcia scored the equaliser just five minutes into the second half.

Campaña netted the winner in the 92nd minute, securing three precious points for Levante in the Spanish league table.

Levante now holds the 17th position with 31 points, while Las Palmas, which has only won a single match in the last 10 games, is in 19th place with 21 points.

Unbeaten Barcelona is 12 points clear at the top of the La Liga table, with seven games to go.
