In his fifth appearance for Getafe on Sunday night, the 22-year-old expertly slotted the ball into the far post with his right foot, momentarily giving Getafe a 2-1 lead, FourFourTwo reports.

Here is the video:

However, the visitors surrendered their advantage just minutes later when Jorgen Strand Lorsen equalized, resulting in a shared points outcome.

Greenwood had been facing serious allegations of attempted assault and coercive control, which resulted in him going without a competitive appearance for over 18 months.

According to MEN, in February of this year, The Crown Prosecution Service announced that all charges against the footballer had been dropped. The Wibsey-born striker consistently denied the allegations.

Following an internal investigation by Manchester United, it was concluded that it would be in Greenwood's best interest to pursue his professional career elsewhere.

Consequently, he signed with the Madrid-based team on the deadline day, offering him a fresh start in his career.

Greenwood grabs assist on Getafe debut

In a related publication, Sports Brief reported that the Man United loanee had a significant impact during his first start for Getafe in La Liga, contributing an assist.

The English player had been eagerly awaiting his debut, and he finally received the opportunity against Osasuna on September 27.

As reported by MySportDab, Greenwood, on loan from Manchester United, played the full duration of the match, providing an assist and generating two scoring opportunities.

Greenwood faces calls to be sacked at Getafe

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that a Spanish domestic abuse charity has urged Getafe to reconsider its decision to sign Mason Greenwood from Manchester United.

The Spanish club's acquisition of Greenwood has attracted significant attention, which led to the Ana Bella Foundation, a domestic abuse charity in Spain, formally requesting that the club revisit their decision to bring in the former Manchester United player.
