There was drama, perhaps not surprisingly, as the Primera Liga's leading two teams shared the spoils in a Bernabeu cracker. Luis Figo's penalty in injury-time, after a questionable foul on Raul, gave Real Madrid a 1-1 draw against Valencia, who had looked set for a famous victory.
A 74th-minute header from Valencia defender Roberto Ayala looked to have given Valencia the points which would have put them top of the table. However, with time running out, referee Tristante Oliva pointed to the spot as Raul went tumbling in a clash with Valencia defender Amedeo Carboni.
The furious Valencia players crowded Oliva, but the commotion did not disturb Figo, who sent Valencia goalkeeper Santiago Canizares the wrong way from the spot.
David Beckham was booked for a foul just before half-time and will be suspended for next week's match against Espanyol.
