The match opened with a quick strike from Marc Bernal, who finished a low cross from Eric García to beat Levante goalkeeper Ryan. Levante had chances from Carlos Álvarez and Olasagasti, but Barcelona's defense, led by Joan García, held firm.
In the second half, a precise cross from Cancelo set up Frenkie de Jong, who scored on his first touch to double the lead. The win puts Barcelona closer to the top of the table after Real Madrid's loss to Osasuna.
