Barcelona Edges Leganés with Own Goal Drama

Barcelona`s 1-0 win over Leganés featured an own goal, extending their LaLiga lead and showcasing Lewandowski`s missed chances.

FC Barcelona clinched a hard-fought 1-0 victory against CD Leganés on April 12, 2025, during Matchday 31 of LaLiga EA Sports. The decisive moment came just after halftime when Leganés defender Jorge Sáenz inadvertently turned a cross from Raphinha into his own net, gifting Barcelona the lead in the 48th minute. This victory allowed Barcelona to extend their lead at the top of the league to seven points, now sitting at 70 points, while Real Madrid trails with 63 points.

Despite a commendable defensive effort from Leganés, they remain in a precarious position, sitting second-bottom with 28 points, just two points away from safety. The match was competitive, with both teams creating opportunities; however, Dani Raba`s goal was ruled out for offside, and Robert Lewandowski missed a header that could have sealed the game earlier.

Adding to Barcelona`s concerns, Alejandro Balde suffered an injury before halftime, raising questions about the team`s depth as they continue their pursuit of the LaLiga title. This win marks Barcelona`s 13th consecutive unbeaten match in LaLiga and their remarkable 24th game without a loss since the start of 2025. For more details, visit beIN Sports and ESPN.
