Karim Benzema and Jese Rodriguez scored early to help Real Madrid ease to a 3-0 win at Getafe and restore a three-way tie for first place in the Spanish league on Sunday.

Madrid's win matched Barcelona and Atletico Madrid's victories on Saturday to keep the trio level after 24 rounds.

With leading scorer Cristiano Ronaldo serving the second of a three-game suspension, the 20-year-old Jese scored for a third straight round to get Madrid going in the fifth minute at Alfonso Perez Stadium.

Benzema made it 2-0 from Angel Di Maria's pass in the 27th, and midfielder Luka Modric added another goal from long range in the 66th.

Getafe, which never threatened, remained winless in nine straight rounds and four points from the relegation zone.
