Lucas Ocampos scored for Sevilla in their 1-0 win vs. Osasuna.
Ocampos managed to score the winner for Sevilla but not without some controversy. Sevilla were awarded a penalty kick and it was Ocampos who stepped up to take it. His penalty was initially saved but the referee had it retaken as the goalkeeper was off his line.
The Argentine made no mistake the second time as he scored his first goal of the season and the only one of the match.

Marcos Acuña is injured and will miss both World Cup qualifiers this month for the Argentina national team.
Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni will not be able to count on Acuña after the Sevilla man suffered an injury on Saturday. It appears to be the same injury which kept him out of Argentina’s 2-1 win vs. Bolivia last month after having play in the 1-0 win vs. Ecuador.
The first World Cup qualifier of November will be against Paraguay on November 12 at La Bombonera before playing on the 17 vs. Peru.

Lionel Messi scored twice for FC Barcelona in their 5-2 win vs. Real Betis.
Messi would start the match on the bench but would play the entire second half where he would score twice and dummy on another goal. With the score at 1-1, Messi was brought on in the second half and would make an instant impact. A ball was played inside the penalty area and Messi would let it run through his legs and onto Antoine Griezmann who would score to give Barcelona the 2-1 lead.
The Argentine would make it 3-1 as Barcelona were awarded a penalty. A well placed, very powerful shot beat the goalkeeper as he would score his fifth penalty in a row. Betis would make it 3-2 but Messi would score the fourth.
A pass into Messi as the Argentine with a powerful shot into the net would make it 4-2 before Barcelona would add another goal.
