Barcelona takes the lead against Real Madrid with a 2 – 1win

Spain – Luis Suarez of Barcelona is the person behind the goal that would give the team a win in the 56th minute against Real Madrid. Barcelona which is well known for its aggressive play made a score of 2 – 1 to Real Madrid whose players earned 6 yellow cards off of 14 fouls.

It is in the 19^th Minute that the La Liga leaders were given a 1 – 0 score on a header off of a free kick courtesy of Barcelona’s defender Jeremy Mathieu.

Real Madrid had attempted to claim an early lead when they scored their first goal at the end of the 1st half which came from Cristiano Ronaldoin the 12th minute. However, there are chances that they would have maintained the lead were it not for the fact that another one from Ronaldo was deemed offside hence it was disallowed.

This gave Barcelona a chance to fight back in the second half with Luis Suarez scoring the winning goal which made Barcelona end up with 17 shots.

However, at the 78^th Minute there was a higher opportunity for a tie but this curtailed by Barcelona goalie Claudio Bravo, who saved the brilliant kick from striker Karim Benzema of Real Madrid.

Real Madrid who had pelted the net with 13shots only ended up with 4 that were on target towards the Barcelona goalie Bravo. On April 5^, Barcelona who have 10games remaining will play Celta Vigo while Real Madrid which is four points behind Barcelona now will play Granada.

There were unsightly incidents and unseemly reactions before and after Barcelona’s goal as players from both teams tried to lure the referee into using his cards. This led to booking of Pepe and Luis Suarez for chippy fouls besides Ronaldo for diving on the edge of the box.

Never the less, amidst incidences which interrupted the flow of things, Real which seemed to be in control of matters would somehow get in terms and finally Barcelona took the win.
