The first half remained goalless, but the second period began with dangerous opportunities at both ends. In the 50th minute, Luka Stasin's header struck the opposition's post.
Valencia's pressure continued, and in the 77th minute, they came agonizingly close to scoring when David Otorbi's powerful shot rattled the crossbar.
