Substitute Urko Vera's 93rd-minute header gave Athletic Bilbao a 2-2 draw at Getafe on Monday in the Spanish league.

The Bilbao midfielder headed in a corner in the final seconds to earn a point at Alfonso Perez coliseum after Manuel del Moral had scored a brace and an own goal.

Del Moral put the Madrid club ahead in the 53rd, but he headed a Bilbao free kick into his own net in the 69th to level the score.

The Getafe captain then perfectly placed a left-footed shot from outside the area into the right corner for what looked like the winner in the 84th.
