Full time: Real Madrid 2 Barcelona 3
The match started with the whistle and Barcelona have prevailed, following a wildly entertaining first half, on a Gerard Pique winner five minutes after the break.
A Nigerian soccer analyst said that the match was not really ‘tech’ and it looks
like both sides are in mid-season referee-surrounding form.
Rakitic bumped the ref a couple times then pointed a finger in his face multiple times. That doesn’t seem acceptable; there are a lot of things that weren’t acceptable before that are now allowed.
Suarez and Carvajal are shown yellow for some extracurriculars. Nothing too serious.
Vazquez was brought down in the area on a stiff challenge, looking to the referee for sympathy. Nothing.
Neymar wiggled into the area and beats Navas, but, again, perhaps a touch too many and the Brazilian misses while being taken down. He appeals for a penalty but nothing.
How close Barca came to doubling their lead right there.
