In a crucial La Liga matchday 31 fixture, Levante secured a vital three points in their battle to avoid relegation. This victory, however, had a distinct "red-and-white" flavor, thanks to the presence of Iborra on the bench.
The Conference League winner with Olympiacos is a member of the Spanish club's technical staff, serving as Luis Castro's immediate assistant. However, the Portuguese coach was suspended for the clash against Getafe, having accumulated five yellow cards.
Consequently, Iborra was tasked with leading the team for this game, making his debut as a head coach. The Spaniard experienced the match with intense passion from the dugout, even receiving a yellow card himself after a heated exchange with the opposing bench.
With this win, Levante has narrowed the gap to safety to just four points, continuing their fight to remain in the top flight of Spanish football.
