It was Real that grabbed the vital win and probably clinched the La Liga title. Los Merengues went ahead through German midfielders Sami Khedira and were comfortable for long periods, but Barca’s Chilean substitute Alexis Sánchez equalised with just 20 minutes remaining. Cristiano Ronaldo’s clinical strike just three minutes later settled the game with Madrid now seven points clear, with only four games remaining. Madrid coach José Mourinho named an very attacking team and his side began the better. Ronaldo’s early header from a corner brought a superb flying save from goalkeeper Víctor Valdés. His opposite number Iker Casillas was then quickly off his line when full-back Dani Alves dispossessed Sergio Ramos. The game was being played at a fearsome pace and French striker Karim Benzema brought the best out of Valdés again. Barca thought they had gone front when Alves had the ball in the net after a Cristian Tello run, but the youngster had been flagged offside.

INTRODUCTION AND JURISDICTION 1. What is before the Committee, in substance, is whether the second match of a two match sanction imposed on Besart Berisha (the player) should be upheld. The player was sent off in about the 36th minute of the match and thereafter has served the first of the two matches of the existing sanction. 2. The circumstances of the case raise the appropriate way in which the concussion policy of the FFA is to be administered. FFA adopted the Consensus Statement on Concussion in Sport at the 4th International conference on concussion, November 2012. The concussion policy is circulated to all clubs and match officials. It is part of the Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) for the benefit of all players. Within the CBA the concussion policy is part of the minimum medical standards applicable to the A-League. The most recent addition of the concussion policy is the one updated 25.09.2015.
