In the city derby within the 15th round of the Spanish LaLiga, Barcelona and Espanyol played 1:1.
In this way, Barcelona ended the series of victories in the domestic championship, while Espanyol registered its seventh triumph.
Barca took the lead in the seventh minute when Marcos Alonso headed in the visitors’ goal.
Barcelona had two more chances before the break, but they didn’t use them, just like the one in the 55th minute through Robert Lewandowski.
The penalty came in the 72nd minute. Marcos Alonso missed the penalty, which Josela converted and thus brought Espanyol level.
After that, there was a lot of fire on the field, and referee Lahos excluded Alba from one side, and a little later Souza from the other side.
The home team could have taken a new lead in the finish, but Christensen and Lewandowski missed their opportunities.
