MADRID (AP) — Villarreal cast a shadow over Athletic Bilbao’s Copa del Rey trophy celebrations by scoring deep into stoppage time to earn a 1-1 draw in the Spanish league on Sunday.
Athletic won its first Copa in four decades last weekend with a win over Mallorca, with the club presenting the trophy to its fans ahead of Sunday’s match at San Mamés Stadium. Villarreal players made a guard of honor before the match.
The hosts were winning until video review determined there was a handball inside the area five minutes into stoppage time, and Villarreal playmaker Dani Parejo converted the penalty kick to seal the draw.
Oihan Sancet had put Athletic ahead in the 66th, some 20 minutes after Villarreal went a man down when Santiago Comesaña was sent off with a second yellow card for a foul.
“We don’t understand the call for the penalty,” Sancet said. “We had the win until the last play of the match.”
