خوسيلو يمنح ريال مدريد صدارة “الليغا”..

The team coached by Italian manager Carlo Ancelotti has taken the lead in the standings with 57 points, holding a two-point lead over second-placed Girona, whom they are set to face on the 10th of this month in a heated showdown.

Real’s victory can be credited to Joselu, who netted a brace in the 14th and 56th minutes.

The winner of the Spanish Super Cup had numerous opportunities to secure a larger margin of victory in the derby match.

Real Madrid has now widened the gap to 10 points from both Atletico Madrid and Barcelona, who are in third and fourth place respectively, while Getafe’s tally has stalled at 29 points, placing them tenth.

Real began the match applying early pressure, especially through Joselu and Brazilian forward Vinicius Junior.

The opening goal was the result of a cross from Lucas Vazquez, who got the nod over Dani Carvajal aimed at giving the latter a rest, allowing Joselu to successfully convert the ball into the net (14).

Joselu’s inclusion, replacing the in-form Brazilian Rodrigo, was part of Ancelotti’s strategic adjustments ahead of the eagerly awaited clash and the spirited derby with Atletico Madrid on Sunday.

Real absolutely dominated the first half, but they suffered a setback just before the break when German defender Antonio Rudiger was forced off due to injury.

Frenchman Eduardo Camavinga took his place at the start of the second half, while Frenchman Aurelien Tchouameni took on the role of center-back.

The Merengues maintained their superiority, quickly netting a second goal, thanks to an excellent team play masterfully finished off by Joselu, who slotted the ball past the Getafe goalkeeper after a precise assist from Vinicius (56).

Getafe’s goalkeeper David Soria managed to deny Vinicius following an assist from Joselu, who also had a chance to claim a hat-trick after finding himself one-on-one with the keeper (63).

Real nearly paid the price for their missed opportunities when Ukrainian goalkeeper Andriy Lunin stopped an attempt by Borja Mayoral that was headed straight for the post (73).

Borja Mayoral and Real’s English midfielder Jude Bellingham remain tied at the top of “La Liga” scoring charts with 14 goals each.
