Levante’s strengths were their ability to create chances inside the box (7 vs 3) and their higher shot inside box percentage (64 vs 27), indicating a more clinical approach in key areas. They also had more keeper saves (3 vs 2) and a better xGOT prevented value, suggesting a stronger defensive performance. However, they had fewer accurate passes (169 vs 211) and lower pass accuracy (59% vs 64%), which limited their control of the game.

**Conclusion:** The 1-1 draw reflects a balanced contest where both teams had clear opportunities. Getafe had more possession, better passing accuracy, and more shots on target, but Levante created more dangerous chances inside the box and had a higher shot inside box percentage. Both teams converted only a fraction of their big chances—Getafe at 50% and Levante at 33%—which explains the low-scoring result. Getafe’s higher territorial control and defensive actions suggest they had the edge in structure, but Levante’s efficiency in dangerous areas and stronger goalkeeping performance helped them avoid a worse outcome. Neither team fully capitalized on their chances, leading to a fair result.
