Athletic Bilbao goalkeeper Gorka Iraizoz scores last minute equalizer, wrongly ruled out

Athletic Club goalkeeper Gorka Iraizoz was denied of a last minute equaliser

Athletic Bilbao goalkeeper Gorka Iraizoz had almost stunned the entire world with an injury time equaliser from a corner during their Saturday night encounter against Malaga, only if the goal stood.

Malaga had earlier grabbed the lead with a 35th goal minute from Malaga grabbed the lead through Liverpool loanee Luis Alberto from a penalty spot kick after Roque Santa Cruz was brought down by Iraizoz inside the box.

It was during the dying minutes of the game when Athletic Club had won a free-kick, and Iraizoz came up all the way into the opposition penalty area. Miracuralously, he headed home the free-kick, only for referee Antonio Mateu to deny it.

Despite having their two players sent off, Malaga were lucky to take the three points from the match.
