A new manager and a much-needed win over Nacional offer Rio Ave a lifeline after a brutal start to the season.
Rio Ave sacked Sotiris Silaidopoulos and brought in Vasco Seabra on a deal through 2029, and his tenure couldn't have started better with a 3-2 win over Nacional. It's only their second league win of the season after five defeats in their opening games, but with Jalen Blesa leading the attack, there are early signs of a turnaround.
