RM 4:2 Getafe; Cristiano double |
It was a 10th successive league victory for Real with three goals in the first 23 minutes wrapping up the game as the Madrid giants steamrolled their neighbours.
Ronaldo opened the scoring in the 13th minute, curling in a superb free-kick from close range before Argentine striker Higuain marked a century of games with a double inside three minutes to take his season’s tally to 22.
Portuguese star Ronaldo grabbed his second, and 17th of the season, on 37 minutes to make it 4-0 before Real old boy Daniel Parejo pulled a goal back for the hosts in a goal-packed first period.
The Coliseum had been a difficult venue for Real over the years, losing 3-1 there last season.
But there was no chance of a repeat horror show when Real surged into a four-goal first half lead.
“It was a good result that had not been good to us in the past and we are now back at the top,” said Real coach Manuel Pellegrini.
“We reduced our level of intensity in the second half due to the proximity of the derby (on Sunday) and to avoid yellow cards.”
A foul right on the edge of the area gave Ronaldo a sight on goal and the former Manchester United man planted a pinpoint free-kick into the corner for a 13th minute opener.
Higuain then got himself on the scoresheet latching on to a Rafael van der Vaart pass before finishing smartly on 20 minutes.
Getafe were shocked when the Argentine scored again three minutes later for his 22nd goal of the season, three goals behind Barcelona’s Lionel Messi in the goalscoring charts.
Esteban Granero and Sergio Ramos spurned chances for Real before Ronaldo scored an individual goal with several step-overs before rifling a shot into the net although goalkeeper Oscar Ustari should have done better.
At 4-0 the game was up although Getafe pulled a goal back a minute later through Parejo following a mistake from Iker Casillas.
Casillas flapped at the ball and tried to atone for his mistake by racing out of his goal but Parejo slid to take the ball and leave the Spanish international goalkeeper in pain on the floor.
Parejo slotted the ball in despite pleas to put the ball out with Casillas on the ground injured.
The Spain captain was furious and refused to accept Parejo’s hand of apology after the goal.
Predictably the second half failed to match the excitement of the action-packed first period with Getafe raising their game after a dreadful first 45 minutes while Real went off the boil.
The hosts pulled a second goal back on 80 minutes when a deflected shot fell to Pedro Leon who made no mistake from close range.

RM 3:1 Gijon |
Real Madrid had many chances on goal in the first half. Higuain had several, first trying to head in a pass from Marcelo (8′), then missing his mark with a crossed shot with his right foot following a 30-metre assist (33’), and finally coming close to scoring from outside the box after receiving the ball with his back to the goal and turning on himself (44’). Goalkeeper Juan Pablo was inspired and thwarted a great shot by Ronaldo (33’).
Manuel Pellegrini realised the match was beginning to resemble the first leg clash between both sides (which ended in a draw) and decided to bring Guti on for Lass. Real Madrid had their first chance to score in the second half two minutes after half-time when Higuain assisted Van der Vaart with a cross into the box, but the Dutchman’s shot went over the crossbar.
Sporting scored six minutes later and Real Madrid were forced to make a comeback. Following a series of set pieces, Van der Vaart scored an equaliser taking advantage of the clearance Juan Pablo had been forced to make from a shot by Ronaldo (55’). Four minutes later, Ronaldo tried to head in the ball following a corner kick by Granero. The ball failed to go in, but Xabi Alonso finished the play off successfully, also with a header (59’). Higuain sealed the victory with a tight and brilliant shot with his left foot (67’). Gago came in for Granero in the final minutes of the match.

Ronaldo scored his team’s first goal with his left foot following a clearance by Palop (59’) and Ramos headed in a corner kick served by Van der Vaart a few minutes later (63’).
Guti took over in midfield and orchestrated the Whites’ bouts in attack. Higuain had several shots on target, but he hit the crossbar, the posts and one of the top corners of the goal. The Argentine’s persistence was incredible.
