Espanyol and Levante played out a goalless draw in their La Liga clash on Matchday 32. The 0-0 stalemate was an unwelcome result for both sides, as the hosts missed an opportunity to close in on the European qualification spots, while the visitors gained only a single point, which does little to aid their battle against relegation.

Despite the lack of goals, the match was far from dull, with chances created at both ends. However, neither team's attackers could find the back of the net, and both goalkeepers made crucial saves to keep their sheets clean.

A bizarre moment occurred in the 88th minute when Paul Lozano, who had only just come on as a substitute, was sent off. He committed two fouls within seconds, the second being an elbow to an opponent's head, resulting in two quick yellow cards and an immediate red.

Ultimately, no goals were scored, and the match ended in a draw. Following the result, Espanyol remains in 13th place in the standings with 39 points. Levante, meanwhile, sits in a precarious 19th position with 33 points, just two points adrift of 17th-placed Mallorca, who currently occupy the last safe spot.
