Athletic Bilbao star Oihan Sancet sent off for horror challenge against Getafe as Mason Greenwood starts first match
ATHLETIC BILBAO star Oihan Sancet was sent off for a horror challenge during Mason Greenwood’s full Getafe debut.
The Manchester United loanee has not started a football match since January 2022 – when he was suspended by the Red Devils.

He made substitute appearances against Osasuna and Real Sociedad before Getafe boss Jose Bordalas trusted the winger to start against Athletic Bilbao.
But just six minutes into the contest his side fell behind – before a horror tackle turned the match around.
Sancet lunged for a 50-50 aerial ball but used his foot while Athletic Bilbao star Jose Angel Carmona went in with his head.
The result was a nasty collision with Sancet kicking Carmona in the back.
The referee was left with little choice but to brandish a red card, and Getafe capitalised by equalising six minutes after half-time.
Greenwood played a big role in the goal as it was his corner that was glanced in by Gaston Alvarez – taking a deflection off Inaki Williams.
However, Williams would make amends as he struck to put his side back in front.
The ten men battled on but were dealt a late blow when Juanmi Latasa scored with nine minutes left of normal time.
Getafe have now won one, drawn one and lost one since Greenwood arrived.
They face Villarreal on Saturday and the 21-year-old will be hoping to be named in the starting line-up once again.
