Cristiano Ronaldo scored a late goal to give Real Madrid 2-1 victory at Getafe on Saturday.

Karim Benzema had opened scoring for the visitor when he found the back of the net in the 39th minute of the game.

Getafe have a free-kick in a promising position but it is wasted and Real Madrid go forward to claim the opener.

The ball is played through to Karim Benzema, who absolutely skins a Getafe defender, before stroking a low finish to the far corner of the net.

Getafe equalised in the 56th minute through a Nacho own goal.

The home side go forward and level through a Nacho own goal, who slides in and converts into his own net under pressure from striker Jorge Molina. The Real Madrid defender had to deal with it.

The game was heading to a draw when Ronaldo scored the winner in the 85th minute of the match.

Isco chips a brilliant ball over the Getafe defence into the path of the Portuguese forward, who lets the ball drop and drills a finish into the far corner.
