Villarreal 2-0 Getafe

Villarreal consolidated their grasp on fourth place with a 2-0 victory over strugglers Getafe.Denis Suarez's first-half strike gave the hosts the lead before Cedric Bakambu's twelfth goal of the campaign was enough to see the Yellow Submarine edge closer to sealing the final Champions League qualification spot in the Primera Division.Getafe remain 19th in the table, and are two points from safety.With Celta Vigo claiming a 1-0 victory at Sporting Gijon earlier in the day, Marcellino's men knew a win at the Estadio El Madrigal would give them breathing space from their rivals.Suarez was close to breaking the deadlock with his effort going wide before the hosts took the lead when the 22-year-old was found by Adrian to finish off a slick passing move after 15 minutes.Getafe almost responded two minutes later as Alvaro Medran forced a smart save from goalkeeper Sergio Asenjo.The hosts pushed forward in the second-half with Adrian Lopez and Samuel Castillejo missing chances before the hour mark.But the in-form Bakumbu, who also bagged a brace against Sparta Prague in the Europa League midweek, was on hand to poke home Villarreal's second with five minutes remaining.The Congolese striker notched his 20th goal in all competitions to stretch their fourth-place advantage over Celta Vigo to eight points.ends
