Consolation free-kick sends Leganes fans wild in 5-1 loss to Barcelona
Saturday 17 September 2016 19:14, UK
Despite being 5-0 down, there were wild celebrations from the Leganes fans when Gabriel's late free-kick handed the newly-promoted side their first ever home goal in La Liga.
Following a 0-0 draw in their first ever home match in La Liga with Atletico Madrid, Leganes fans were eagerly awaiting their first goal at the Butarque stadium.
That honour went to one Lionel Messi, but Gabriel's strike was an historic moment for the club, who were playing in Spain's third tier in 2014.
Messi's brace ensured Barcelona got back on track in La Liga as they overwhelmed Leganes 5-1 on Saturday.
The Argentinian opened the scoring before setting up Luis Suarez, who claimed two assists during a typically unselfish display.
Neymar added a third before the break, while a Messi penalty and Rafinha stunner put the visitors five up.
Though it was merely a consolation, the home faithful went wild when Gabriel's struck late on.
