Arriaga Shines in Midfield as Levante Draws with Mallorca
Palma de Mallorca – Kervin arriaga delivered a strong performance in midfield for Levante UD, but a late goal from Pablo Maffeo denied them a victory against RCD Mallorca in a 1-1 draw on matchday 10 of La Liga. The result leaves Levante with 9 points this season, stemming from 2 wins, 3 draws, and 5 losses, placing them 14th in the league standings.
Levante sought retribution after a previous encounter, displaying a resolute effort, but ultimately couldn’t secure all three points despite Etta Eyong’s 22nd-minute goal – his sixth of the 2025-26 season. Maffeo’s 78th-minute strike leveled the score, a goal preceded by visible frustration from Arriaga directed at teammate Manu Sánchez for a perceived defensive lapse.
Arriaga started in Levante’s lineup and provided crucial support in the midfield, effectively disrupting Mallorca’s play as a defensive midfielder. He received a yellow card in the 49th minute for vehemently protesting a refereeing decision.
According to Sofascore, Arriaga earned a rating of 7.6, among the highest for Levante players. He recorded one shot on target, 52 touches, and two successful dribbles, while winning 2 of 3 aerial duels.
Levante will next face Celta de Vigo at home on November 2nd. Prior to that league match, they will travel to Orihuela for a Copa del Rey first-round match on October 30th.
