14 October 2017.
0-1 Benzema
1-1 Molina
1-2 Cristiano Ronaldo
GETAFE 1 REAL MADRID 2: Getafe performed brilliantly throughout the game and will consider themselves unlucky to be leaving with no points to take from this tie. Similarly to the Barcelona game they held off their opponents well, but, as with the Barcelona game, they were unlocked by a brilliant pass and an equally brilliant finish.
Cristiano Ronaldo's half-volley added to the opening goal from the hardworking Benzema and it will be relief around the Real Madrid camp after narrowly winning a very difficult game. All eyes on Barcelona and Atletico Madrid tonight as Real Madrid close the gap to the league leaders to four points until tonight's fixture.
After a remarkable close-range miss, Cristiano Ronaldo netted his first league goal of the season as Real Madrid beat Getafe 2-1.
Cristiano Ronaldo scored his first LaLiga goal of the season to atone for an astonishing earlier miss and earn Real Madrid a hard-fought 2-1 win at Getafe.
Having missed the start of the season through suspension, Ronaldo had not found the net in his first three league appearances and his duck looked set to continue in a largely frustrating contest against their neighbours.
Zinedine Zidane's side took the lead when Karim Benzema capped off a counter-attack with a fine first-half finish.
But Getafe surprisingly levelled against the run of play 11 minutes into the second half as Jorge Molina continued his excellent run of form against Madrid.
Ronaldo was then presented with a golden chance to seal the points, only to somehow shoot wide from a yard out.
It looked as if that profligacy would prove costly, but the Portugal forward made amends by latching onto Isco's wonderful lofted ball over the top and lashing a half-volley beyond Vicente Guaita.
