The meeting in Madrid ended with the score 2:2.
In the sixth stoppage minute of Atlético's regular time, Yannick Ferreira Carrasco took a corner at the Bayer goal, but failed to hit the opponent's goal, after which the chief referee of the meeting, Clement Turpin, blew the final whistle.
However, after that, the referee received a signal from the video assistant about a possible violation of the rules in the penalty area of the German team.
After watching the replay, he confirmed the fears of the assistant, resumed the game and allowed the Madrid team to perform a 11-meter kick.
Yannick Ferreira Carrasco, who approached the ball, could not beat Lukasz Hradecki, Saul, who came to the finish line, hit the crossbar, and Reinildo Mandava hit the Belgian with the ball, after which he left the field.
Only after that Turpin again blew the whistle to end the match.
Atlético are third in Group B with five points. Bayer Leverkusen are fourth with four points.
