Published

MADRID (AP) — Levante defeated Mallorca 2-1 for its third win in four Spanish league matches on Friday.

Roger Martí put Levante ahead in the 52nd minute and Rubén Rochina scored the winner with a long-shot in the 73rd after Mallorca equalized through Dani Rodríguez in the 65th.

Levante was coming off a loss at Athletic Bilbao but had won two games in a row, against league leader Barcelona and at fifth-place Real Sociedad.

It was the second loss in three matches for 16th-placed Mallorca, which is yet to win points in six away matches this season.

Barcelona play at Leganés on Saturday, while second-place Real Madrid hosts Real Sociedad.
