Gary Neville's search for his first La Liga win as Valencia boss continued on Sunday evening with a home match against Rafael Benitez's Real Madrid.
The visitors took the lead in the 16th minute when Karim Benzema converted from inside the box, but Valencia were level in the final moments of the first period when Dani Parejo registered from the penalty spot.
Real Madrid were reduced to 10 men in the 68th minute when Mateo Kovacic was sent from the field for a late challenge on Joao Cancelo, moments after Cristiano Ronaldo had a strong penalty shout turned down.
The visitors regained the lead in the 82nd minute through Gareth Bale, but Valencia were on terms less than 60 seconds later when Paco Alcacer headed home from close range and that was where the scoring ended at the Mestalla.
