Greenwood won two corners after coming on, with Maksimovic scoring from the second minute
Greenwood replaced striker Juanmi Latasa before a positive reception from Getafe fans.
However, this was not the match with the largest audience with only 9,000 fans at Estadio Coliseum Alfonso Perez which has a capacity of 16,000 people.
The average attendance is about 12,000.

Only part of the stadium was occupied during the match
According to The Athletic journalist Guillermo Rai , Osasuna fans seemed to mock the player and chanted “Deаth to Greenwood”.
It was Greenwood’s first appearance in 20 months, with his last game coming for Manchester United against West Ham in January 2022.
The winger was later suspended by United after being arrested
In February this year, the CPS dropped all criminal charges against Greenwood after “key witnesses were withdrawn and new documents came to light”.
United’s internal investigation into Greenwood ended in August with the conclusion that he would not play for them.
The statement said: “All those involved, including Mason, recognized the difficulties at the start of his career at Manchester United.
“As a result, everyone has agreed that it is most appropriate for him to leave Old Trafford and we will now work with Mason to achieve that outcome.”

That resulted in Greenwood being able to continue his football career elsewhere and at the end of the deadline, he joined Getafe on loan.
Greenwood’s 77th-minute debut saw him quickly win two corners.
The second goal gave Getafe a 3-2 lead when Nemanja Maksimovic headed in from Carles Alena’s corner.
Players from CA Osasuna presented some farming difficulties for the United loanee.
Iker Munoz, a central midfielder, made a hard midfield challenge on Greenwood.
Despite the fact that the referee delivered eight cards during the game, Munoz was not flagged for the tackle.
Left-back for Getafe Despite not coming off the bench, Fabrizio Angileri was given a red card at the conclusion of the game.
The following Sunday, when Getafe plays Real Sociedad in the Basque Country, Greenwood will have another opportunity to play.
