Cristiano Ronaldo scored his first two goals of the year and was sent off as Real Madrid beat Malaga 2-0 in another slightly disappointing display.

The Portuguese winger scored his first two goals of 2010 after 35 and 39 minutes of the match.

Both the goals followed good collective moves in what was an otherwise poor display from Real Madrid, but Ronaldo undid all of his good work with a moment of madness in the 70th minute of the game.

Under pressure from Malaga defender Mtiglia, he swung his arm and caught the defender full in the face, for which he was shown a direct red card.

Tests later showed he had broken the defender's nose and the Real Madrid player should now expect a suspension of between four and 10 games for aggression.

Getafe won South Madrid derby 1-0 against Atletico thanks to a 38th minute goal from former Atletico B-team player Manu del Moral.

Manu sidefooted home Pedro Leon's low cross to do justice to a game where Getafe was the better team.

Atletico created no clear chances in the match and its misery was compounded by the sending off of midfielder Pablo Assuncao with 20 minutes remaining.

Nestor Gorosito's debut in the Xerez dugout ended with a 2-1 home defeat to Osasuna.
