Real Madrid defeats Getafe with a goal from Ramos and is four points behind Barça
A penalty goal from center-back Sergio Ramos in the 79th minute, after a foul committed by Uruguayan Mathías Olivera on full-back Dani Carvajal, gave the three points to Real Madrid (1-0) in the derby against a Getafe CF that put up a fight and posed problems for the leader of LaLiga Santander, who increased their lead to four points over FC Barcelona.
The team led by José Bordalás put high pressure on the home team's ball out to create problems when generating attacking plays, and they succeeded, but a punctual error from the left-back, which also had an impact on the morale of his teammates, decided the match.
A victory that increases Madrid's lead in the standings to four points, following Barcelona's draw on Tuesday against Atlético de Madrid (2-2), with five matchdays remaining. Meanwhile, Getafe is in sixth place in the standings, a position that grants access to the Europa League with 52 points.
