Real Madrid women's team won the “clasico” against rival Barcelona for the first time on Sunday, ending an 18-match losing streak.
Madrid prevailed 3-1 in front of more than 35,000 fans at Montjuic stadium in Barcelona, with Caroline Weir scoring the decisive goals in the 87th minute and in stoppage time. Alba Redondo had put Madrid ahead in the 41st and Caroline Hansen equalized for the hosts in the 67th, The Associated Press reported.
Barcelona protested after having a goal disallowed for a controversial offside in the 82nd, when the score was 1-1.
The victory moved Madrid within four points of leader Barcelona after 23 rounds.
Barcelona has won the women's Spanish league for the last five seasons. Madrid was runner-up in the previous two seasons.
Madrid started its women's team in 2020.

Bayern Munich has been left without two of its top defenders after Alphonso Davies and Dayot Upamecano both picked up serious injuries on international duty.

Davies' season seems to be over after he tore a cruciate ligament in his right knee, Bayern said. The left back was injured while playing for Canada against the United States in the CONCACAF Nations League.

Bayern predicted central defender Upamecano will be out for “several weeks” with a problem in his left knee following his return from playing both legs of France's quarterfinal win over Croatia in the UEFA Nations League.

“In international breaks there is unfortunately always a danger that players come back injured, and this time it has hit us especially hard,” Bayern's board member for sport Max Eberl said. “The absences of Alphonso Davies and Dayot Upamecano weigh heavily on FC Bayern.”

Bayern next plays St. Pauli in the Bundesliga on Saturday and faces Inter Milan in the quarterfinals of the Champions League next month.
