Late equalizer stops Betis win in warmup for Europa Conference League final

SEVILLE, Spain (AP) — Real Betis was denied a last La Liga win of the season by a late Valencia equalizer on Friday before next week’s Europa League Conference final against Chelsea.

On-loan Manchester United winger Antony leaned back and curled in a superb left foot shot into the corner five minutes before halftime to give the home side the advantage.

However, substitute Rafa Mir lashed a low shot past Adrian at his near post to make it 1-1.

There was little at stake but pride for both teams, with Betis closing its La Liga campaign in sixth place.
