Real Betis could not win a home game in which they scored in LaLiga for the seventh time this season, because Valencia came from behind to save a 1-1 draw in the Estadio Benito Villamarín.
Betis was already assured of a sixth placed finish and wanted to generate some momentum prior to the UEFA Conference League final of next week against Chelsea.
The side of Manuel Pellegrini was at the top early, but creating clear opportunities turned out to be difficult for the hosts, who had to wait until the 25th minute on their first shots on Doel when Isco was refused twice in a row.
Anxious Betis finally succeeded in finding a breakthrough with 40 minutes on the clock. Antony kept his cool after receiving the ball from Isco just within the penalty area, and bowed a perfect left -wing attempt just within the distant pole to give his side the lead while he ended a point of three scoreless trips.
A quiet restart was perhaps symptomatic for an end of the season between parties with little to play for, although Valencia retained an external chance of a top half finish.
Those expectations were kept alive by a stunning salvation by Giorgi Mhamardashvili, who, according to his legal spray to claw Abde Ezzalzouli's shot from the upper corner.
That stop turned out to be even more important 15 minutes after the time, when Rafa Mirlathing held the pass of Andre Almeida to drill his first strike in the bottom corner to score his first LaLiga goal for the club.
Armed with Het Momentum, the men of Carlos Corberan penetrated a winner in the final phase, but in the end they had to settle for a draw, which means that they end the season without a victory in three games.
It was also a seventh consecutive visit to Betis without a victory, where the focus of the hosts will be firmly trained next week at their conference competition with Chelsea.
