FT: Real Madrid 4-1 Getafe (Benzema 2x, Bale, Cristiano; Alexis)

Wow! Navas has done well to stay awake through most of this match but he makes a great, low diving save there to keep the score at 4-1.

84' Vazquez lays the ball forward for Toni Kroos but his long-ranged shot is saved easily by the keeper.

No hattrick for Benzema today but a standing ovation. The Bernabeu showing the striker their support.

38' GOOOOAL! Cristiano Ronaldo with Real Madrid's fifth goal as he hits it past Guaita following a lovely ball from Toni Kroos.

35' GOOOAL! Gareth Bale gets his first goal of the night as he slots the ball past the keeper following a header from Cristiano Ronaldo.

Pepe having a super game today in fairness. Playing in middle of patched-up back four and coming and winning everything Getafe put forward.

RMA 2-0 GET (31') - Cristiano has only scored 2 of his last 96 direct free kicks (today one of frame and 1 saved by Guaita)

30' Ronaldo takes another free-kick from 30-yardss away, but the ball goes towards the right side of the net.

22' Gareth Bale takes a shot from a long-range but the ball goes wide off. The Welsh playmaker looks disappointed.

18' Real Madrid almost find their third goal, but the shot taken in the final third is just not good enough. Getafe break on a counter.

From the replay, it seems like Lucas Vazquez who had initiated the attack for the second goal was actually offside when Luka Modric had made the pass to him. The goal stands.

15' GOOOOAL! Karim Benzema gets his and Madrid's second goal of the night as he puts the ball into the net. Ronaldo gets the assist.

13' Lucas Vazquez tries to surprise the goalkeeper by taking an early shot but the attempt is saved.

10' Karim Benzema almost gets his second goal of the night after James Rodriguez's cross finds the French striker's head, but the shot is saved by Getafe keeper Guaita.

7' Karim Benzema is brought to the ground near the penalty box. Free-kick to be taken by Cristiano Ronaldo from a dangerous area. His attempt is cleared by the goalkeeper. Corner for Real Madrid.

6' Free-kick awarded to Real Madrid after Luka Modric is brought down. Taken with a short pass.

Benzema scored six goals in his first six La Liga games - hadnot found net for Madrid since early October. Just took four mins today.

3' GOOOOAL! Karim Benzema scores the opening goal of the match as he slots the ball into the net following a pin-point cross from Pepe. This is Benzema's 7th goal of the league.

Real Madrid have won 12 of their last 13 competitive meetings with Getafe.

The match is underway.

Benitez named whistled as the teams read out. Otherwise it is very, very quiet even by Bernabeu standards 5 mins before kick-off
