Villarreal CF secured a much-needed 3-1 victory over Levante at La Cerámica, a result that brings relief to the squad before the international break. Goals from Ayoze Pérez, Alberto Moleiro and Georges Mikautadze earned the Yellow Submarine three key points at home.
The match became complicated when Iván Romero levelled the score for Levante just one minute after Ayoze's opener. Villarreal's response, however, was immediate and decisive. Moleiro put the hosts back in front in the 54th minute, and Mikautadze sealed the win late on following an assist from Moleiro.
Manager Iñigo emphasised the importance of the win for the group's morale after the final whistle. He stated that the team showed character to bounce back after the quick equaliser and that the performance deserved the reward of three points. With this result, Villarreal CF move up to ninth place in La Liga, with 8 points from a possible 21 after seven matchdays.
The win against Levante marks a second consecutive victory for the team, following their success against Malaga last week. This positive momentum arrives just before a break in the schedule, which the team will approach with greater confidence. The next fixture presents a sterner test: a trip to the Santiago Bernabéu to face fourth-placed Real Madrid on October 10th.

With Pape Gueye as the season's top scorer on three goals, the team has netted 13 times so far in the campaign. The win over Levante reinforces the notion of a functioning attack, a key aspect for the challenges ahead.
