Ronaldo hits first LaLiga goal of the season

Cristiano Ronaldo scored his first LaLiga goal of the season to atone for an astonishing earlier miss and earn Real Madrid a hard-fought 2-1 win at Getafe.

Having missed the start of the season through suspension, Ronaldo had not found the net in his first three league appearances and his duck looked set to continue in a largely frustrating contest against their neighbours.

Zinedine Zidane's side took the lead when Karim Benzema capped off a counter-attack with a fine first-half finish.

But Getafe surprisingly levelled against the run of play 11 minutes into the second half as Jorge Molina continued his excellent run of form against Madrid.

Ronaldo was then presented with a golden chance to seal the points, only to somehow shoot wide from a yard out.

It looked as if that profligacy would prove costly, but the Portugal forward made amends by latching onto Isco's wonderful lofted ball over the top and lashing a half-volley beyond Vicente Guaita.
