Araujo's overhead kick goal disallowed after dicey foul call

The first half of the game between Athletic Bilbao and Barcelona saw chances for both teams, but Barca were on the back foot for a lot of the time and Pique had to go off injured.

On the edge of half-time, Ronald Koeman's men thought they had taken the lead thanks to the substiute Araujo.

The Barca player went to attack in added time and he took advantage of a loose ball after Agirrezabala came out for the ball and did not get it. Araujo went for the overhead kick, the best option in that situation.

The ball ended up in the back of the net, but referee Martinez Munuera decided to disallow it for a foul by Braithwaite on Balenziaga. It was a dicey call and the Barca man seemed to be a touch unlucky.
