Etta Eyong Scores in Levante’s 1-4 Defeat to Real Madrid

Levante’s Karl Etta Eyong continued his impressive start to the season by scoring in his side’s 4-1 loss to Real Madrid on Tuesday. The goal marked the Cameroonian striker’s third in as many games for his new club, and fourth this season having netted once for Villareal.

The match, played at Estadio Ciudad de Valencia, saw Real Madrid maintain their perfect start to the season. The visitors took control with first-half goals from Vinicius Junior and Franco Mastantuono, putting them up 2-0 at the break.

Early in the second half, Etta Eyong provided a glimmer of hope for the hosts. After a deflected shot from Ivan Romero looped over Real Madrid’s goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, Etta Eyong was in the right place to head the ball home from close range in the 54th minute, making the score 2-1.

However, Levante’s comeback was short-lived. A quick brace from Kylian Mbappe, including a penalty, sealed the victory for Real Madrid, who secured all three points and extended their lead at the top of the La Liga table.

Etta Eyong, who joined Levante from Villarreal on a four-year deal earlier this month, has quickly become a key player for his new team. His goal-scoring form will be crucial for Levante as they look to climb the table and avoid relegation. The defeat leaves Levante in 16th place with four points from six games.
