Lionel Messi scored for the sixth straight time in the Primera Liga, in the Barcelona champions' 2-0 win over Girona on Sunday, with five points clear of the top of the standings.
Portuguese defender Nelson Simedo scored the goal of his less powerful left foot in the ninth minute at the rain-soaked Montelevi stadium after the failure of an ambitious League League plan in Miami.
Barcelona defender Gerard Piqui pulled out the ball and German goalkeeper Mark-Andre-Ter-Stegen saved striker Christian Stoane in the second half.
Girona defender Bernardo Espinosa was eliminated 2-2 in Barcelona at Nou Camp earlier in the season after a second-minute strike in the 51st minute.
Girona posed problem in the defense of Barcelona while he was playing with 10 men. Terje Steigen managed to save his shot from another shot of Stoane, who then asked for a penalty after his fall to the ground following an intervention by Barcelona defender Jordi Alba.
Girona's hopes of coming back to a coup de grace to Messi, the league's top scorer, sent goalkeeper Bono through the 68th minute to score his 19th goal of the season. Barca scored 49 points after 21 matches, five points ahead of Atletico Madrid.
Messi, who missed Barcelona's 2-0 defeat against Sevilla in the quarterfinals of the King's Cup last Wednesday, scored for all teams in the league, with the exception of Wesca, who should meet him later this season.
