For a second straight game, Robert Lewandowski came to Barcelona’s rescue after he earned and converted an 86th-minute penalty to grab a 2-1 win for Barcelona at Osasuna.

Lewandowski’s winner came 10 minutes after substitute Chimy Ávila equalized for Osasuna. Barcelona defender Jules Koundé headed in the opening goal in first-half injury time.

Barcelona’s win kept it two points behind Spanish league leader Real Madrid after four rounds.

Lewandowski also scored the winner for Barcelona in a 4-3 thriller at Villarreal last weekend.

Atletico Madrid’s home game against Sevilla scheduled for Sunday was postponed ahead of forecasts of heavy rain in central Spain, the Spanish league said.

Victory for Juve

Goals from Danilo and Federico Chiesa earned Juventus a 2-0 victory at Empoli in Serie A on Sunday, with the visitors squandering several other chances, having two efforts disallowed and missing a penalty.

The victory maintains Juventus’s unbeaten start to the season, having earned seven points from their opening three games to sit two points behind leaders Inter Milan and AC Milan.

In another match, strikers Marcus Thuram and Lautaro Martinez were involved in all four goals as Inter Milan thrashed Fiorentina 4-0.
