Getafe opened the year at home with 15 points in a precarious position, facing the league leaders.
Ünal resolved it early: he scored in the 9th minute and the Coliseum then dedicated itself to defending the advantage for more than eighty minutes.
They held on. Ancelotti emptied his bench with Marcelo, Isco, Peter, Hazard and Mariano searching for the equaliser, without finding it.
Quique closed ranks with Nyom, Florentino Luís, Mata and Jankto. Damián Suárez, Arambarri and Olivera were booked.
Melero López was the referee. The victory leaves Getafe with 18 points, and Ünal's goal was the 3,300th conceded by Real Madrid in LaLiga.
