VALENCIA, Spain (AP) — Valencia beat Levante 1-0 in a La Liga derby decided by a spectacular late goal from Hugo Duro on Friday. Valencia went into the game winless in seven matches but defending a 16-game undefeated run at home against Levante in the league. It was on top for long periods and thought it scored a breakthrough goal in the 63rd minute only for a video review to chalk off Diego Muñiz’s rebound. However, Duro’s superb overhead kick with 12 minutes remaining sent the Mestalla wild. It was a first goal since September for the striker and lifted his side two places into 15th spot. Levante remained second from bottom. ___ AP soccer: https://apnews.com/hub/soccer The Associated Press 11
