GIF: Controversial call erases Athletic Bilbao equalizer

The opening game of La Liga's 2014-15 season was a wild one. 

Luis Alberto gave Malaga the lead after cleaning up his own penalty miss in the 35th minute.

Malaga held on for the majority of the game, but then had two players, Vitorino Antunes and Duda, sent off in the dying stages of the match.

With a distinct man advantage, Atheltic Bilbao goalkeeper Gorka Iraizoz rushed towards Malaga's box in search of an equalizer with time running down.

Iraizoz's incredible header seemingly salvaged a point for the visitors, but the referee disallowed the goal for reasons that remain unclear. Down to just nine men, Malaga escaped with the 1-0 victory.

We know what you're thinking: we missed La Liga as well.
