Greenwood's Miss: The Turning Point in Getafe's Uphill Battle
Manchester United Loanee's Penalty Blunder Shifts Momentum in Getafe's Clash Against Nine-Man Bilbao
's loanee, Greenwood, had a golden opportunity to narrow the scoreline for Getafe against a depleted Athletic Bilbao side, who were down to nine men, when a penalty was awarded in the 88th minute. Unfortunately for Greenwood and Getafe, his penalty was saved by Bilbao's goalkeeper, Unai Simon, sealing Bilbao's 2-0 victory.
Bilbao had initially secured their lead with two goals from Inaki Williams. However, the game took a turn in the second half when both Yeray Alvarez and Aitor Paredes received red cards, leaving Bilbao to finish the match with only nine players. Greenwood's potential goal could have set the stage for a thrilling comeback, but Simon's crucial save dashed those hopes.
Despite his miss, Greenwood's impressive performances this season in Spain have garnered interest from clubs like Juventus. However, this setback will surely disappoint him. Looking ahead, Getafe, currently positioned 10th in La Liga, will face Cadiz next, with Greenwood aiming to rediscover his scoring form in the upcoming match.
