Mason Greenwood, a Manchester United loanee, scored a goal and provided an assist for Getafe on Saturday as they easily defeated Sevilla.
Getafe prevailed 3 goals to 0. In the fifth minute, Borja Mayoral scored the first goal to put his team ahead.
Getafe had a bit more breathing room with a goal from Jaime Mata eight minutes before halftime, but Greenwood’s penalty shot in the 80th minute sealed the win at Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan Stadium.
Greenwood moved to Spain on transfer deadline day, and since then, he has scored two goals in La Liga.
The Englishman has also registered an outstanding three assists in his last six league games.
Greenwood’s assist vs Sevilla was exquisite. Seeing Mata’s run down the left channel, he expertly timed his delivery to pick him up to score a perfectly weighted low pass and run through on the Sevilla goal.
37 touches of the ball were recorded by Greenwood while he was playing for Getafe.
With an accuracy of 83%, he completed 19 of the 23 passes that he tried. Three crucial passes were made by the United Academy graduate.
Greenwood attempted three crosses, but only once did he find his desired target.
The forward attempted three long ball pings. Twice he was successful. The guy had two shots overall and produced one significant opportunity.
Greenwood engaged in nine ground fights, winning only one of them. He didn’t have to accept any airborne challenges. There’s no doubt that the 22-year-old will be eager to improve his defensive capabilities. He was once again dribbled past.
