Getafe coach Bordalas happy with Greenwood goal: Our kids stood up to Celta Vigo

Getafe coach Jose Bordalas was happy with Mason Greenwood scoring in their 2-2 draw at Celta Vigo.

All four goals came inside the opening 42 minutes, with Greenwood scoring for Getafe to give them a 2-1 lead before Celta's equaliser.

Asked about their second goal, Bordalas admits he felt they could've done more after a bright first-half: "It was a shame because the game had a different script, we no longer had the ball and obviously we were no longer participating.

"But I am happy for his (Greenwood's) goal that gave that point."

The goal was the on-loan Manchester United striker's first in 627 days.

On the game, Bordalas added: "It was a match that we prepared with a very clear idea, to put pressure on Celta on their field, to try to score a goal. An offensive match. I think we achieved it.

"After the red card the team had to make a titanic effort, the team has known how to suffer. There have been decisions that have a lot of controversy.

"The team has been very daring, I congratulate the kids, they have been phenomenal. Everything that has happened has not taken them out of the game."
