AVS
Rio Ave dominated possession with 66% of the ball and created more chances, but were forced to settle for a dramatic 2-2 draw against AVS in a match that came alive in the second half. Ole Pohlmann's early opener from outside the box gave Rio Ave the advantage, but Tomané's close-range finish from a corner restored parity. The match turned on its head when Pedro Lima's header put AVS ahead after the hour mark, capitalizing on their superior corner count of 9. However, Andreas Ntoi proved the hero for Rio Ave, first picking up a yellow card for the foul that led to AVS's second goal, then dramatically equalizing with a close-range finish from a corner with 11 minutes remaining. Despite Rio Ave's territorial dominance and 20 shots to AVS's 13, their clinical finishing let them down as they missed 3 big chances compared to AVS's 1.
