La Liga Minnows SD Huesca Scored A Breathtaking Late Equaliser Against Athletic Bilbao

They've had a dream start to life in the top tier...

Everyone involved with SD Huesca must be in complete and utter dreamland at the moment. After being promoted from the Spanish second tier, they now find themselves in sixth place with four points from two games.

Leo Franco's side are the smallest side in the history of La Liga, with their stadium capacity of just over 5,000. What's more, the majority of their squad are in on loan deals.

Yet they've made an undefeated start to their first season in the big time, coming from two goals down against Athletic Bilbao to draw 2-2 away from home last night.

Goals from Markel Susaeta and Yuri Berchiche put the hosts 2-0 up but Jorge Miramon pulled one back in the 71st minute, before Ezequiel Avila levelled with a truly exquisite goal three minutes from time.

The swivel and rocket of a strike into the top bins in one swift motion from the edge of the area was simply stunning.

Huesca are massive underdogs in every game they play this season and seeing the scenes last night is just incredible.

Because of the construction work going on to add more seats into their tiny ground, they are having to play their first three matches of the season away from home.

And another fun fact about Huesca is that in their ranks they have Ruben Semedo - the defender currently out on bail, having posted bail for around 30,000 Euros, after being arrested for attempted murder and the unlicensed possession of a firearm.

Next up for Huesca is the almighty task of thwarting champions Barcelona at the Nou Camp and you better believe we're well behind them in their encounter with Lionel Messi and co.
