Valencia avoided defeat for the fourth time in six matches after drawing 1-1 in their visit to Deportivo La Coruna on Monday evening, which saw them climb two places into 14th after Week 10.
Los Che manager Cesare Prandelli ensured Valencia's recovery stayed along a steady course following a disastrous start to the campaign, albeit not gaining the three points they desired coming to Depor.
Emre Colak steered manager Gaizka Garitano's side into the lead on the stroke of half-time, but Rodrigo's intervention on the hour mark ensured Valencia walked away from their 18th-placed foes with a point in tow.
