Not directly scoring or assisting, Mason Greenwood contributed greatly to Getafe’s impressive performance against Atletico Madrid in round 18 of La Liga.

Greenwood is one of the factors that make a big difference on the field. The English striker made a left-handed shot in the 53rd minute, forcing Jan Oblak to push the ball to Borja Mayoral, helping the striker score a 1-1 equalizer for Getafe.
In the 87th minute, Greenwood made an excellent dribble from the right wing, passing two Atletico players to cross inside, opening up the opportunity for Oscar Rodriguez to score and shorten the score to 2-3. Then, at 90+3 minutes of extra time, Mayoral scored from the penalty spot to help Getafe have a dramatic 3-3 draw.
Greenwood did not have any assists or goals in this match, but the English striker’s performance was truly impressive. He continuously tormented the Atletico defense with annoying dribbles and shots with both feet.
The striker born in 2001 successfully performed 4 out of 5 dribbles, scoring 8 points from Sofascore, only less than Antoine Griezmann (8.1) and Borja Mayoral (8.1), both players scored doubles. this match.
After the initial period of mainly sitting on the bench at Getafe, the English striker has continuously started for the La Liga club recently. He plays an important role in helping Getafe flourish. In the previous round, Greenwood had 1 goal and 1 assist in Getafe’s 3-0 victory at Sevilla.
After 15 appearances for Getafe in all competitions this season, Greenwood has 5 goals and 4 assists. Greenwood’s high form made Getafe offer to buy this player outright. In addition to Getafe, many other teams in La Liga also want to recruit the English striker. However, everything still depends on MU, because the “Red Devils” only loaned Greenwood to Getafe until the end of this season.
