Casemiro scored his first goal of the season as Real Madrid beat Getafe 2-0 at the Santiago Bernabeu on Saturday to maintain their 12-point lead at the top of the LaLiga table.
The Brazil captain opened the scoring with a diving header from Vinicius Junior’s pinpoint cross in the 38th minute before Lucasquez added a second-half an hour later — after exchanging passes with Rodrygo to secure the win.
Los Blancos will be looking to finish the job at Bernabeu next week, and they are in a strong position when it comes to the Champions League this season due to the size of their advantage at the top of La Liga.
Real Madrid are the highest scorers in La Liga this term (69), while they boast the second-best defensive record in the division behind Sevilla, having only conceded 26 times in their 30 matches.
The Whites also have the best home record in La Liga this season, picking up 34 points from their 15 matches. But they have only picked up one point from their last two league games with Getafe and suffered a 1-0 loss in the reverse match between the two sides earlier this term.
