Real Betis' plans to move up the Spanish league table were frustrated on Monday by Valladolid, who battled out a 0-0 draw in Seville.
.
Betis dominated possession but without injured stricker Ruben Castro lacked a cutting edge.
.
Valladolid were reduced to 10 men nine minutes from time when right-back Antonio Rukavina was rather harshly sent off. However, Miroslav Djukic's well-drilled team managed to play out time without many problems.
.
The draw left Betis in joint seventh place, level on 36 points with Real Sociedad both of them one point behind surprise package Rayo Vallecano.
.
Meanwhile, Valladolid moved up to 10th.
The frustration is not a small something. The draw wasn't funny in any way
