Getafe’s Mason Greenwood scores first goal

Borja Mayoral had put Getafe ahead just two minutes into the contest. But despite the hosts’ Iago Aspas missing a penalty before the 15th minute mark, Celta Vigo were level shortly afterward through Jonathan Bamba. 

After 33 minutes, Mason Greenwood connected with a cross-box pass and sent a shot into the roof of the net to give Getafe a 2-1 lead. After 30 minutes, Portuguese defender Domingos Duarte received a second caution, reducing Getafe to ten men. However, three minutes later, Greenwood scored to restore the visitors’ lead. Three minutes before halftime, Celta Vigo’s Jorgen Strand Larsen made it 2-2.

On minute 61, Mason Greenwood was replaced by Mauro Arambarri, who entered the game in his stead. On Instagram after the game, Greenwood posted, ‘Happy to score my first goal for @GetafeCF amazing team spirit to come away from the game with a point’. 

Getafe is in 11th place in LaLiga after their fourth draw in nine games, while Celta Vigo is still in the relegation zone as a result of the point. After being detained on attempted rape and assault allegations last year, Mason Greenwood is now attempting to restart his football career.
