FC Barcelona won the Clasico thanks to a last-minute goal from Joker Franck Kessie and further extended their lead over long-time rivals Real Madrid.
The substitute midfielder scored in the second minute of stoppage time for the happy 2-1 (1-1) win for the leaders of the Spanish soccer championship. Thanks to the success, Barcelona now have a twelve-point lead over second-placed Madrid.
An own goal by Ronald Araujo (9th minute) put Real in front. After the equalizer by Sergi Roberto (45th), Marco Asensio (80th) supposedly put Champions League winners Real in the lead. But after video evidence, the striker’s goal was disallowed for offside.
