Duro’s spectacular overhead kick wins La Liga derby for Valencia
[byline]
VALENCIA, Spain (AP) — Valencia beat Levante 1-0 in a La Liga derby decided by a spectacular late goal from Hugo Duro on Friday.
Valencia went into the game winless in seven matches but defending a 16-game undefeated run at home against Levante in the league.
It was on top for long periods and thought it scored a breakthrough goal in the 63rd minute only for a video review to chalk off Diego Muñiz’s rebound.
However, Duro’s superb overhead kick with 12 minutes remaining sent the Mestalla wild.
It was a first goal since September for the striker and lifted his side two places into 15th spot.
Levante remained second from bottom.
