Events

Match Events

  • 0' Three points are at stake. Rio Ave FC host Moreirense FC — let the battle begin!

  • 19' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Rio Ave FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 20' That is a Yellow card for Moreirense FC. Fabio Pacheco will be fuming at that decision.
