  "account": "In a La Liga match at Camp Nou on Sunday evening, Real Madrid defeated Barcelona 2-1, ending the defending champions' perfect league start. Madrid now trails Barcelona by three points at the top of the table. Anthony Gordon opened the scoring in the seventh minute with a low drive that was saved by Andriy Lunin. He followed up the save in the 14th minute by firing straight at the Ukrainian goalkeeper. Joan Garcia was tested in the 15th minute when Arder Guler sent a powerful low shot towards the bottom corner that Lunin parried away. Raphinha came close to putting Barcelona ahead in the first half, combining with Gordon before narrowly wide. The hosts had a chance on the half-hour mark when Alejandro Balde replaced Xavi Espart, but it was Mbappe who broke the deadlock in the 41st minute. Yan Diomande put a low cross into the area, and Gerard Martin's clearance deflected off the Frenchman and into the net. Lamine Yamal missed an important chance to equalize, scuffing his effort wide of the post. Yan Diomande hit the side netting from a promising position just before halftime. Minutes into the second half, Madrid extended their lead. Jude Bellingham broke through from a counter-attack, but failed to provide Mbappe with the pass. Raphinha drew Barcelona level in the 67th minute, finding the far corner after brilliant play from Pedri. Lunin made a crucial save to deny Martin's header from six yards out. With two minutes remaining, Mbappe secured the win with his 100th goal for Real Madrid, showcasing superb footwork and elegance in combination with Jude Bellingham and Eduardo Camavinga to earn all three points for Madrid.",
