Russell Slade had a birthday to forget as his Brighton and Hove Albion side threw away a 2-0 lead on his return to Huish Park.
The former Glovers' boss, 49, was back at his old stomping ground for the first time since his departure in February and looked on as Yeovil ground out a 2-2 draw.
However, referee Oliver Langford played a large part in the result, booking Sam Williams for simulation in the first half and The Seagulls, already one ahead, scored from a deep free-kick, before Yeovil equalised from the penalty spot in the second half.
Former Bristol City winger Scott Murray (pictured)grabbed both Yeovil goals in his second start for the club, finally reaching 100 career goals with his first.
Glovers' manager Terry Skiverton said: "Scott is fully-fit now and he is raring to go. He has hit a little run of form in training and for him to come up today and score two goals was tremendous."
"It is going to create a real headache, because I thought he performed really well today. It was only tendonitis that kept him out of the side at the start of the season.
"I have already said, and I keep having to justify myself to a lot of people, that Scott is a good player and easily good enough for this standard."
The Scot made the most of his opportunity, as Skiverton had to adjust to three international call-ups.
Both Tottenham Hotspur loanees Ryan Mason and Steven Caulker were on England Under-19 duty, while Shaun MacDonald captained Wales Under-21s.
Murray came in on the right of midfield, with Gavin Tomlin occupying a more central role. Craig Alcock returned to fitness to captain the side and play at the heart of defence alongside Terrell Forbes, while Sam Williams started as Yeovil's lone striker.
The Glovers got off to a disastrous start, finding themselves trailing after just five minutes thanks to sloppy defending.
Yeovil failed to clear a corner and Andrew Crofts lashed the ball past Alex McCarthy from the edge of the penalty box.
The hosts then had to weather a considerable storm from Brighton, as they bombarded Yeovil, looking to make the most of their patchy play.
Nicky Forster came close to doubling his team's advantage after 16 minutes when he tried to beat McCarthy from 25 yards.
The Reading loanee, released by England Under-21s on Friday, was off his line, but Forster's hopeful effort sailed wide.
Slade's team then put daylight between themselves and Yeovil with a controversial strike three minutes before half-time.
Williams looked to knock the ball around Tommy Elphick, but was felled by the defender's late challenge.
Referee Langford showed the yellow card to the former Aston Villa striker and Brighton's long ball was dealt with badly by Yeovil.
Alcock could only tap the ball to Liam Dickinson, who showed tremendous predatory instinct to smash past McCarthy.
With the Glovers reeling, Murray gave his team hope with a confident finish on the stroke of the referee's half-time whistle.
The midfielder profited from Andy Welsh's pass to thump emphatically beyond a powerless Michael Kuipers.
With both teams toiling in the second period, it took 41 minutes for Yeovil to draw level and make pressure count.
The home team were a much-improved side after a poor first-half performance and deserved the equaliser.
Welsh floated over a well-weighted ball to the far post, where Forbes was fouled by Jake Wright as he looked to head towards goal.
The former Oldham Athletic man may not have scored a single career goal, but he was a towering figure for Yeovil at set-pieces.
Murray was first to lay claim to the penalty and gave Kuipers no chance by rifling into the roof of the net.
The 35-year-old's two-goal return confirmed his ability to the Huish Park crowd, who have had scant opportunity to appreciate his talent.
With Carlisle United next up for Yeovil, Skiverton has a task to accommodate the in-form replacements and returning internationals.
