Cristiano Ronaldo Leads Madrid To Win

[Folami David]

Gareth Bale injured himself in the warmup and was forced to wait for his Bernabeu debut but Real Madrid did not miss him as Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice in a 4-1 win over Getafe in La Liga on Sunday.
.
The world's most expensive player was set to start against Getafe, having featured in only two away games since joining for €100 million three weeks ago, but was forced to make way for another new recruit, Isco, just before kickoff.
.
Getafe's Angel Lafita made the most of another sluggish start from Real, though normal order was soon restored when Pepe equalised in the 19th minute and Ronaldo scored with a penalty in the 33rd as the chances fell thick and fast.
.
Isco grabbed his fourth of the campaign after the break, and after Getafe were reduced to 10 men, Ronaldo grabbed his second at the end with a clever backheel.
.
"Bale has a small problem, nothing more. They will do tests tomorrow," Real director Emilio Butragueno told Spanish broadcaster Canal Plus.
.
"The team created a lot of chances and the result doesn't do us justice. Ronaldo's last goal was marvellous, but Isco's skill in the third was rather special."
.
Carlo Ancelotti's side moved up to third with 13 points from five games, two behind joint leaders Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, who both maintained perfect starts with wins on Saturday.
.
Pedro scored a hat-trick as the champions won 4-0 at Rayo Vallecano, and Atletico are second on goal difference after a 2-0 victory at Real Valladolid.
