Events
Match Events
- 0' AVS have kicked off against Rio Ave FC. Both sides are eager to make an early statement.
- 5' It is a cagey affair so far. AVS in their 4-2-3-1 trying to find a way past Rio Ave FC's compact 3-4-3.
- 10' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.

- 20' Jonathan Panzo has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 25' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both AVS and Rio Ave FC are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
- 26' A meaty challenge results in booking for Jonathan Panzo on 26.
- 31' AVS are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.

- 57' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Clayton suffering a number of foals already.
