Villarreal took the lead in the 41st minute when Ayoze Pérez finished off a well-worked combination involving Moleiro. However, the home side's joy was short-lived, as just a minute later, Iván Romero equalized after a cross from Jeremy Toljan. After halftime, the hosts continued to press, and in the 54th minute, Moleiro once again put his team ahead with a left-footed strike following a good midfield build-up. Georges Mikautadze sealed the final score in the 86th minute, netting the third goal for the "Yellow Submarine."

Levante attempted to get back into the game but struggled to create clear-cut chances, while Villarreal remained the more dangerous side. The hosts registered 21 shots compared to their opponents' mere 6, with a 7-1 advantage in shots on target. In the 86th minute, Georges Mikautadze put the game beyond doubt, capitalizing on a pass from Moleiro to make it 3-1.
