It ended in a draw because the fight didn't finish. Although to be honest, I think if they kept going Crom would've probably won because Vali was starting to get tired. Remember that DxD L can be taxing on Vali.

Strada did take on the Rias and her peerage as an old man so it's no surprise he's a beast in his prime.
