Neymar shines in controversial 'Clásico'

Barcelona ran out winners in a very even Clásico which in the end was decided by details. Neymar scored first to make it 1-0, and then Alexis, with a terrific lob over Diego López's head, made it 2-0.

However, young Jesé Rodríguez made the final moments of the game much more exciting after making it 2-1. Real Madrid called for a penalty after Mascherano pushed Ronaldo in the 72nd minute but it wasn’t given.

During the first half of the game, it was Barcelona who was in full control of the ball and took the only clear opportunity that presented itself. A great move by Iniesta left the ball for Brazilian Neymar to shoot at goal and he made it 1-0. This was a little bit lucky as Neymar's shot struck Varane, which wrong-footed Diego López.

In the second half, Real Madrid was greatly superior to Barcelona, especially once Benzema and Illarramendi came on. Benzema had the chance of an equaliser but his shot hit the bar.

And just when Real Madrid's game was at its best, Alexis, who had just come onto the pitch, appeared and scored a great goal, hitting a perfect lob from outside the area.

This goal allowed Barcelona to breathe more easily. But in injury time Jesé pulled one back with a counter-attack following a pass by Cristiano Ronaldo. Ronaldo had made a very rapid run from his own area, passing the ball to Jesé, who finished off the move perfectly
