Overview
- Cucho Hernández put Betis ahead in the 74th minute after Tárrega’s error in Valencia’s buildup allowed Abde to tee up the finish.
- Luis Rioja equalised in the 82nd minute with a powerful strike from the edge of the area following a corner to secure a point.
- The result extends Valencia’s winless run to seven league matches but moves them out of the relegation zone level with Girona on 10 points.
- Carlos Corberán kept a back four in a 4-4-1-1 with André Almeida behind Lucas Beltrán, then used Hugo Duro and Rioja before a momentum-shifting triple change.
- Betis fielded a near full-strength XI including Amrabat, Antony and Abde, created early chances that went begging or met Valles saves, and Valencia now turns focus to the Levante derby after the break.
