Cameroon’s Karl Etta Eyong continued his fine run in La Liga this Sunday, scoring for Levante UD in a 1–1 draw at RCD Mallorca. The forward’s precise left-footed finish in the 22nd minute gave the visitors an early lead, underlining his growing influence in Spain’s top flight.
Etta opened the scoring, finishing neatly with his left foot from inside the box after a probing Levante move. The goal highlights the Cameroonian striker’s growing influence in La Liga this season, adding to a series of crucial contributions for his club.
Mallorca responded steadily, creating several chances before the break. Vedat Muriqi tested Levante’s goalkeeper from a corner on 28 minutes, and Mateo Joseph forced two key saves at 44’ and 57’. Levante, meanwhile, remained dangerous on the counter, with Pablo Martínez, Manu Sánchez, and Brugue all attempting efforts on target.
The deadlock was finally broken for Mallorca in the 79th minute when Pablo Maffeo drilled a left-footed equaliser from outside the area, set up by Johan Mojica. Late chances followed at both ends: Llabres struck the target in the 86th minute, Raíllo headed wide at 90’, and Levante’s Arriaga (81’) and Morales (90+5) were denied, ensuring the points were shared.
Set pieces played a notable role, with nine corners in total (Mallorca 5–4 Levante) and five yellow cards, two of which were for serious fouls by Mallorca, under referee Miguel Ángel Ortiz Arias.
The match mirrored season-long trends: Mallorca have often scored after the break, while Levante have been vulnerable defensively in second halves.
The draw leaves the sides closely positioned in the lower half of the La Liga table, in 16th and 17th places, respectively. Mallorca built on last week’s 3–1 win at Sevilla with another solid performance, while Levante recovered some confidence following a 0–3 home loss to Rayo Vallecano.
The Indomitable Lions’ forward Karl Etta Eyong’s goal underlines his importance for Levante, demonstrating that the Cameroon international is emerging as a key figure in Spain’s top flight. With performances like this, he continues to catch the eye and inspire his team while readying himself for the 2026 FIFA World Cup playoffs by scoring in the same weekend Zambo Anguissa, Bryan Mbemo and Vincent Aboubakar scored and assisted.
