La Liga 2024-25: Barcelona stunned by lowly Leganes in 1-0 home defeat
The HinduLa Liga leader Barcelona lost 1-0 to Leganes on Sunday with defender Sergio Gonzalez’s early header enough to stun the wasteful host who lost its second consecutive league game in front of its own fans. Leganes took the lead from a corner after four minutes when visiting captain Gonzalez rose unmarked at the near post to fire an unstoppable header past goalkeeper Inaki Pena. The 32-year-old Serbian keeper made a brilliant reflex save to deny a first-time effort from Robert Lewandowski in the 10th minute after fine individual play by Raphinha down the left. The host’s frustration grew after the break and it missed several chances with Dani Olmo, Lamine Yamal and Raphinha all wasting good opportunities while Lewandowski and Jules Kounde missed sitters from close range.
