Valencia Vs Real Madrid LaLiga matchup descended into chaos after Jude Bellingham's late winner was ruled out.
Valencia nearly pulled a surprise in the pulsating clash when Hugo Duro and Yaremchuk fired the hosts into the lead with a quickfire double.
In a flash, Real Madrid were down by two goals and were uncharacteristically struggling to read out Valencia's collective press and defense.
Coming under intense pressure, the LaLiga title hopefuls gave away the two goals cheaply, no thanks to defensive blunders by Valverde and Carvajal.
Towards the end of the first half, the visitors were gradually beginning to find their way back into the game. A more improved display saw them cut down the goal arrears, thanks to Vinicius Jr's 45+5th-minute strike.
Late in the second half, Vinicius Jr scored again to bag his brace and peg down Valencia to a 2-2 draw. With the scores tied, both sides were set for a nervy final 15 minutes.
The regulation time was exhausted with the two sides unable to break the deadlock. Center-referee Gil Manzano added seven minutes of injury time. The seven minutes was exhausted and nothing changed.
Real Madrid conceded a late corner but it had already clocked 99th minute when the corner was taken. Instead of allowing the away side to wrap up the game after the corner, Gil Manzano blew the final whistle immediately after the corner was taken.
Meanwhile, Jude Bellingham successfully headed home the corner after it was taken but the final whistle was already blown, hence the goal, which would have been the match-winner, was chalked off.
Jude Bellingham and other Real Madrid players raged at Gil Manzano for the decision with Bellingham brandished a red card after he appeared to confront the referee amidst the row.
After the game, Real Madrid took to their social media handle to post footage of the incident describing Gil Manzano's decision as 'unprecedented.'
The Los Blancos dropped points with the draw but are still 8 points clear of the table. They will hope to return to winning ways when they take on RB Leipzig in the Champions League round 16 second leg on Tuesday, March 5.
