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.

Phoenix Suns All-Star Kevin Durant was helped to the locker room with 6:57 left in the third quarter against Houston on Sunday night after falling to the floor in a collision with the Rockets' Jabari Smith Jr.

Smith was called for a foul under the Phoenix basket as Durant fell to the floor. The 6-foot-10 forward eventually got to his feet, but could not put any weight on his left leg. He appeared to step on Smith's foot when he fell.

After Houston's 148-109 victory, Suns coach Mike Budenholzer said Durant will have an MRI on his left ankle Monday and will not accompany the team to Milwaukee for a game Tuesday night. The Suns also have games at Boston and New York in the next seven days.

With just two weeks remaining, and six games in all, the Suns were already facing an uphill battle to qualify for the final Western Conference play-in berth. Phoenix trails Dallas by two games.

Durant played 23 minutes, scoring 11 points and grabbing eight rebounds. Earlier this season, he moved into eighth place on the NBA career scoring list.
