Benzema turned provider soon afterwards, setting up Fabio Coentrao, after a great rum from Marcelo, however, Coentrao side-footed wide with just Moya to beat.

Madrid seemed to take their foot off the gas as the half progressed and were punished six minutes from half time when Ricardo Carvalho and Pepe left Miku in space to fire past Iker Casillas with a right foot shot.

The second half saw Getafe take the game to their illustrious neighbors, but it was always going to be difficult once Ronaldo 'won' and scored his controversial penalty.

The striker then set up Benzema for Madrid's third of the game, using the spaces left by Getafe to slide in a long diagonal pass.

Miku kept calm to keep Getafe in the match with his second goal of the night, but with the visitors looking for an equalizing goal, Higuain broke their hearts in the closing moments.
