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.

Greenwood prevailed in the duel and provided his allies with a huge help.

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.

What makes this unique is that Greenwood used his right foot to shoot with momentum after accepting Getafe’s penalty. Greenwood has a left foot by nature. But he always uses his right foot to shoot when he gets a penalty.

.

This is related to an incident where the player wearing the U13 MU shirt missed a penalty kick. In 2019, Greenwood said, “I’m more left-footed than right-footed.”

“However, I have only scored penalties with my right foot ever since I missed a penalty with my left foot in the game against U13 Man City.”

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.

The next trip for Getafe is another away game, on Tuesday against Diego Simeone’s Atletico Madrid.

Following his initial stint at Getafe, where he mostly served as a bench warmer, the English striker has been starting for the La Liga team ever since. He was crucial in enabling Madrid’s representative to perform brilliantly.

Greenwood has made 14 appearances for Getafe this season in all competitions, tallying 4 assists and 5 goals.

Greenwood signed a one-year contract to be loaned to Getafe by MU during the summer transfer window of 2023. The “Red Devils” do not completely rule out asking former players to return for the upcoming campaign.

But because of Greenwood’s excellent form right now, Getafe has made an outright purchase bid. Barcelona and numerous other La Liga teams plan to sign the English striker in addition to Getafe.
