MADRID: Jose Luis Morales scored twice as Levante won 3-0 at Real Betis in the opening round of La Liga on Friday.
Levante’s 4-4-2 formation worked to clinical effect as his strike partner Roger Marti gave Levante the lead close to halftime, tapping in after right midfielder Jason cut through the Betis defense.
Morales doubled the lead in the 54th minute, eluding four defenders before beating goalkeeper Pau Lopez with a fine finish, and then sealed the win five minutes into injury time following a Levante counter-attack.
Earlier on Friday, promoted Real Valladolid drew 0-0 at Girona.
