Real Madrid made hard work of a 1-0 win over Getafe on Thursday night to restore their four-point lead in La Liga.
Sergio Ramos stepped up and calmly converted a penalty in the 79th minute to score his ninth goal of the season sending Soria the wrong way to put Madrid in position to see out the game.
The late strike felt harsh on Getafe, who had squandered a couple of chances to take the lead, but Zinedine Zidane’s side once again saw out a difficult game to capitalise on Barca’s 2-2 draw with Atletico Madrid on Tuesday.
The result means Real now lead Barcelona by four points and have a superior head-to-head record in La Liga with five matches left to play in the 2019-20 campaign.
