Introduction to the article: Real Madrid takes an early lead against Getafe in La Liga.

Real Madrid takes lead with early goal

Real Madrid only need a point against Getafe to regain their place at the top of the La Liga table, but they are already on course to secure all three, having taken an early lead at the Coliseum. Carlo Ancelotti opted to make several changes from the side that defeated Las Palmas last weekend, and two of the players to come in were Lucas Vazquez and Joselu Mato. The pair combined for the opener, with the veteran striker heading home a pinpoint cross from right-back Lucas.

Real Madrid’s strong start

The Coliseum is a very difficult place to go for every La Liga side, and especially the big clubs, so Real Madrid will be delighted to have taken an early lead. They will now hope that they can control proceedings from here on out, as they look to top the table, two points clear of Girona. Jose Bordalas will be demanding a response from his Getafe side, although it will be far from easy against Los Blancos.
