La Liga 2021/22: Casemiro and Lucas Vazquez help Real Madrid beat Getafe 2-0 at the Santiago Bernabeu
Real Madrid secured victory against Getafe at the Santiago Bernabeu to restore their 12-point lead at the top of LaLiga on Saturday.
The coach made four changes from the midweek Champions League win against Chelsea, resting Dani Carvajal, Ferland Mendy, Toni Kroos and Luka Modric with one eye on the quarter-final second leg.
Stamford Bridge hat-trick hero Karim Benzema remained in the line-up and had the ball in the net inside four minutes after a long pass from David Alaba fell kindly to him, only to see the flag go up for offside.

The deadlock was broken in the 38th minute after Vinicius Junior put in a delightful cross with the outside of his right foot for Casemiro to head in at the far post. The hosts knocked on the door for another soon after the break, with Valverde again going close with a free-kick from range.
But Madrid were made to wait until the 68th minute when Vazquez played a neat one-two on the right with Rodrygo before placing the ball with his left foot into the far corner of the net.
The visitors showed a brief glimpse of fight at the end, with Enes Unal hitting the post with an effort in the 90th minute, but it was merely a minor scare for the league leaders.
NEXT FIXTURES: Real Madrid are in action again on Tuesday in the Champions League when they host Chelsea, ahead of an important trip to Sevilla on Sunday in LaLiga. Getafe feature in midweek against Villarreal in domestic action.
