Mason Greenwood was instrumental in Getafe’s dominant display in La Liga round 18 versus Atletico Madrid, even though he did not score or provide an assist.
A score-chasing spectacle unfolded on the field of Atletico Madrid as Getafe held them 3-3 in the early hours of December 20 (Hanoi time). Even with a two-goal lead until the 87th minute, Coach Diego Simeone’s team still managed to level.
When it comes to the field, Greenwood is a major factor. Borja Mayoral scored a goal to tie the game for Getafe with a left-footed effort that the English striker had taken in the 53rd minute, after Jan Oblak had pushed the ball to him.
Oscar Rodriguez had a golden opportunity to score in the 87th minute after Greenwood completed a superb dribble from the right wing, beating two Atletico players on the way to the crossbar. This brought the score down to 2-3. In a tҺrilling 3-3 tie, Getafe were helped along of a penalty goal by Mayoral in the 90+3 minute mark of extra time.
No. 1 Greenwood sibling
In La Liga, Greenwood established his mettle.
The English striker Greenwood was outstanding throughout the encounter, even though he did not contribute to any goals or assists. His relentless barrage of bothersome dribbles and shoots with both feet troubled the Atletico defenders.
The 2001-born striker scored 8 points on Sofascore, which was just short of the doubles scored by Antoine Griezmann (8.1) and Borja Mayoral (8.1), as he completed 4 out of 5 dribbles.
The English striker has started every game for Getafe’s La Liga club as of late, after an early stint of mostly benching the team. In terms of Getafe’s success, he is crucial. Greenwood scored once and assisted on another in Getafe’s 3-0 win over Sevilla in the previous round.
Greenwood has contributed to five goals and four assists in fifteen appearances for Getafe across all competitions this season. Due to Greenwood’s impressive play, Getafe made an outright bid to purchаse him. The English striker is in high demand by a number of La Liga clubs, not only Getafe. Greenwood was only loaned to Getafe by the “Red Devils” until the conclusion of the current season, thus MU’s decision is still final.
