FC Barcelona beat Getafe 2-1 in the Camp Nou Stadium after playing for 65 minutes with a player less.
Goals from Leo Messi and Xavi Hernandez gave Barcelona the win, while Roberto Soldado scored a late penalty for the visitors.
Barcelona ended with just nine players after defenders Gerard Pique and Rafael Marquez were sent off. Pique was sent off in the first half, while Marquez was shown a red card in virtually the last action of the game.
Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola welcomed midfielder Toure Yaya back into his starting line up following his return from the African Nations Cup.
Brazilian full back Maxwell started at right back for Barca after Dani Alves suffered a recurrence of his muscle problem while warming up shortly before kick off, meanwhile recent Getafe signing Miku was in his side's starting 11.
Barcelona got off to a perfect start when Leo Messi put them ahead with his 15th goal of the season after just six minutes.
The Getafe defense failed to clear a corner taken by Xavi and when the ball fell to the Argentinean on the edge of the penalty area, he curled a delightful shot into the back of the net.
The home side was flying and Messi had to more clear chances before the 20th minute. However, on both occasions he failed to beat the Getafe keeper Jordi Codina.
Those misses were to prove expensive as Barca was reduced to 10 men after 25 minutes when Pique was shown a direct red card for a flying foul on Getafe defender Rafa.
