Ronaldo Brace seals win

Real Madrid were only 29 minutes in but were already cruising to victory, with Ronaldo having scored twice and his teammate Higuain also having grabbed a brace! Eventually Getafe fought back to 4-2, but as soon as even the second or third goals went in for real it was practically game over.

Real Madrid's first goal came from Cristiano Ronaldo, who yet again scored from a poweful free-kick, sending the ball through one of the top corners of the goal. The strike sealed a perfect first quarter of an hour in which Xabi Alonso acted as playmaker with Granero opening up the team's game by his side. With Cristiano Ronaldo and Higuain up front Real Madrid were unstoppable.

The second goal came from a perfect effort started off by Gago and sealed by Higuain with a crossed shot. And the third came again from Higuain after he received the ball from Gago and dribbled past the goalkeeper, facing an empty goal alone.

The leaders wanted more and Ronaldo stepped up, scoring an extraordinary strike following two step-overs from one of the sides of Getafe's box.

The locals managed to net a strike before half-time in a controversial play - Parejo scored when Casillas was lying hurt on the ground.

Real Madrid had relaxed a little bit and Leon used that to score from inside the box on the 79-minute mark, but Real Madrid cruised to a tenth consecutive win in La Liga that keeps them at the top of the table.
