BARCELONA, Spain: Getafe striker Enes Unal scored a first-half brace to lead a 3-0 victory over Levante in the Spanish league on Friday.
Unal took Getafes opener just two minutes after kickoff when he headed in a corner kick. He added a second goal on the half-hour mark after making a skillful control of a pass while spinning free of his marker before firing into the corner.
Unal had not scored this season before Quique Snchez Flores returned to the club in mid-October for his third stint as Getafe’s coach. Since then, the Turkish player has scored nine times in 12 appearances.
Carles Ale added a third goal in injury time.
Before Snchez Flores took over, Getafe lost seven times and managed only a single draw to start the term. Since then, the experienced coach has put the modest Madrid-based club on a run of only three losses in 15 league matches. The win over the hapless Levante moved it seven points clear of the relegation zone.
Winger Jorge de Frutos hit the post for Levante in the 40th in the visitors best chance to get back in the game.
Levante, which has won only once this season, remained in last place at nine points from safety.
