After a goal by Huesca's David Ferreiro at minute 18 was annulled for out of play, teammate Christian Rivera soon afterwards stopped a fine pass from "Cucho" Hernandez with his chest, and without letting it hit the ground, drilled it into the net to take a 1-0 lead at 23rd minute on Saturday night, reports Efe news.
The Levante team of Paco Lopez made a comeback at 45th minute, however, when a very active Roger took a pass from the right, and with a header slammed the ball past Huesca keeper Jovanovic to tie it up at 1-1 at the end of the first half.
But the locals came back in a very intense second half, when a shot by Ferreiro was finished by Xabi Etxeita, and with its new 2-1 lead at 52nd minute, seemed to have every chance of winning, particularly since the visitors seemed to have lost their impetus.
But without giving up, Levante managed to pull off its major play of the second half with a controversial goal at 73rd minute, when Emmanuel Boateng took an assist from Jason Remeseiro and scored, but it was called out of play and the score was annulled.
The VAR, however, proved it wasn't, and the goal was allowed, leaving it 2-2 until the end.
