In a recent football match between Getafe and Athletic Bilbao, Mason Greenwood, the English player on loan from Manchester United, made his first start for Getafe. He had not started a match since January 2022 because of a suspension with his former team.
The match had a lot of drama. Athletic Bilbao took an early lead when Yuri Berchiche scored a goal from a free-kick just six minutes into the game. They almost scored again but hit the post.
However, the game took a dramatic turn when Oihan Sancet of Athletic Bilbao was shown a red card for a dangerous challenge. He kicked an opponent while trying to win a header, and the referee had no choice but to send him off.
Getafe took advantage of the situation and equalized in the 51st minute when Mason Greenwood’s corner resulted in Gaston Alvarez’s header finding the net after a deflection off Inaki Williams.
Williams, though, redeemed himself with a fantastic solo run, scoring a goal to put Athletic Bilbao back in the lead.
