Lemar was denied a first goal for the  club following his move from Monaco in July when his stunning 30-yard drive  thumped against the crossbar, but it resulted in the opening goal regardless  after bouncing in off goalkeeper David Soria's back.   He did get the maiden goal his bright display deserved after 60 minutes,  applying the finishing touch to a sweeping counter-attack that carved open the  Getafe defence.Substitute Ivan Alejo was given a straight red card just four  minutes after being introduced for a rash challenge on Saul Niguez as Getafe's  hopes of getting back into the game fizzled out.   The game burst into life after 14 minutes as Atletico took a fortuitous lead  when Soria unwittingly diverted Lemar's rebounding effort into his own net. Getafe were reduced to efforts from distance during the first half, with  Vitorino Antunes looking most likely to restore parity, but his two free-kicks  were comfortably dealt with by Jan Oblak.   Atletico offered little threat at the start of the second period, but a  superb move on the hour mark killed off the game. Koke played the decisive pass  into the path of Lemar, who rounded Soria to slot into an empty net.Oblak kept  out an Angel Rodriguez drive soon after, but any hopes the hosts had of setting  up a tense finale were extinguished in the 65th minute when Alejo received his  marching orders for a stamp on Saul.   Antoine Griezmann saw two shots saved late on as the visitors sought to make  their numerical advantage count, with Getafe ultimately avoiding further  punishment.</blockquote>
