Valencia and Villarreal have shared the points after both sides failed to break the deadlock in a goalless game at the Mestalla.
After a scrappy first half where both side's defences stood tall, it was the visitors who looked like taking the advantage after the break, with two corners and a period of pressure from Villarreal looking threatening.
Both managers made a number of substitutions midway through the second half to spark some life into the game, but neither side could make the breakthrough.
Sergio Asenjo was forced into a double save after Daniel Parejo's shot from outside the box was palmed onto Rodrigo's head, who really should have finished.
Alvaro Negredo made an immediate impact as a substitute, causing several chances in the little time he had on the pitch.
Neither side could break the deadlock despite the end-to-end action, leaving both sides with a point in their respective fight for European places.
The result leaves Valencia in fourth and a point behind Atletico Madrid, who play in the evening fixture on Tuesday.
Villarreal, meanwhile, now sit in sixth, trailing Sevilla by seven points in the Europa League places.
