Atletico Madrid warmed up for next week's Madrid derby by winning at Getafe, with an own goal by keeper David Soria setting them on their way.
Thomas Lemar's 30-yard shot came back off the crossbar before hitting Soria on the back and rolling in.
Atletico were far from their fluent best but Lemar doubled the lead after the interval with a composed finish.
Getafe finished with 10 men after substitute Ivan Alejo was shown a straight red for a foul.
Diego Simeone's side are up to fifth in the La Liga table after a first away win.
They entertain newly promoted Huesca on Tuesday before facing Real Madrid at the Bernabeu on Saturday.
