Valencia come from behind to draw at Rayo Vallecano
MADRID (AP) --- A deflected shot gave Valencia a 1-1 draw at Rayo Vallecano in
La Liga on Monday.
The visitor started the night a point above the relegation zone and ended it
one point and one place better off thanks to a second half strike from Diego
Lpez.
His strike through a packed penalty box appeared to take a deflection off Nobel
Mendy and wrong-foot Rayo keeper Augusto Batalla.
It was an unfortunate moment for Mendy, who had been one of the home side's top
performers in the first half.
The Senegalese defender put Rayo 1-0 up in the 37th minute when his perfectly
placed header rounded off a short corner routine.
Rayo dominated much of the game but could not capitalize on its pressure. The
point lifted it into ninth, one clear of a four-team pack.
Valencia was 15th but only six points separate Rayo in ninth and Girona in 18th.
