MADRID, Oct. 24 (Xinhua) – Real Madrid beat FC Barcelona 3-1 at the Camp Nou in the first “Clásico” of the season on Saturday night.
Although Ansu Fati annulled Fede Valverde’s first goal in minute 5 for Real Madrid, the match changed after Real Madrid was sanctioned with a controversial penalty after VAR’s intervention.
Ramos took advantage of a jerk from the Barça defender Clement Lenglet’s shirt. Although the Barça players complained that Ramos had previously pushed Lenglet, the penalty was given and Ramos did not miss from the penalty spot.
Barça had no answer to stay behind. Had it not been for the goalkeeper, Neto, who superbly saved Ramos, Tony Kross and Luka Modric, the match would have ended long before Modric kept his cool to score his team’s third in injury time.
Atlético de Madrid had a relatively comfortable 2-0 win at home against Betis who seem to lose gas week after week.
Marcos Llorente opened the scoring directly after the break when he beat Claudio Bravo from a narrow angle and Yannick Carrasco hit the wood for the hosts before the hour.
Martín Montoya was sent off for knocking Carrasco down on goal with 15 minutes remaining, but it wasn’t until injury time that Luis Suárez sealed Atlético’s victory after an assist from Lodl.
Kike García’s goal in the 41st minute gave Eibar a surprise 1-0 victory over Sevilla. The experienced forward overcame the offside trap before shooting home with a powerful shot and Eibar defended impressively in the second half to take all three points.
Rubén García’s penalty in the 81st minute after an unnecessary foul by Ander Capa allowed Osasuna to celebrate its centenary with a 1-0 victory at home against Athletic Club de Bilbao, who had sought to keep the game under control until the error of Cap.
