Kalu Uche scored his fourth goal from ten games but it was not enough to stop his relegation threatened side Levante from losing 1-2 at home to Sevilla.
Sevilla took a commanding two-goal lead into the half time break courtesy of goals from Kevin Gameiro and Jose Antonio Reyes but with 17 minutes left to play Uche reduced he deficit for Levante, nodding home a cross from Rueben Garcia but his goal failed to inspire a late comeback.
Signed in January to help Levante in their bid to beat the drop, 32-year old Uche has so far proved to be a shrewd bargain failing to score in only three games from seven starts but his healthy goal statistics have played a little role in lifting his club from the basement of the La-Liga table.
The former Nigerian international will reportedly be given an extension to his current six month deal if the team stays in the La-Liga although their are reports his parent-club owners Al-Rayyan of Qatar will want him back after his loan spell is over.
Levante are presently 15th on the log but they have played one more game than teams below them making their bid to stay above the drop zone heavily reliant on results elsewhere going their way.
