Valencia missed the opportunity to climb up the division after failing to maintain a clean sheet in the Basque country.

The visitors were the aggressors during the early stages as they attempted to break the deadlock. Parejo went close for Los Ches, and Denis Cheryshev missed from close range.

Valencia's pressure finally was rewarded before half-time when Parejo's free-kick met the top corner.

Daniel Wass nearly doubled the lead before the interval, and his miss proved to be crucial during the second half.

Alaves improved after the interval. Joselu and Lucas Perez became increasingly active as the hosts chased a way back into the match.

A set piece undid Valencia midway through the second half when Mendez finished from Victor Laguardia's assist.

Neither team could dominate in the closing stages, and Alaves move up to 11th after collecting a share of the spoils.
