Rio Ave vs CF Estrela da Amadora

Rio Ave and Estrela served up a wild six-goal draw in Vila do Conde, with the visitors racing into the lead three separate times only for the hosts to claw level on each occasion. The result stretched Estrela's unbeaten league run while denying Rio Ave their first home win of the season. Estrela struck first through Ianis Stoica in the 21st minute, but Petrasso pulled Rio Ave level right before the break with a goal in first-half stoppage time. Abraham Marcus then put the visitors back ahead twice in quick succession, netting in the 53rd and 61st minutes, sandwiched around an equalizer from Roland Galcik in the 57th minute. With the game delicately poised, Blesa converted a penalty in the 79th minute to complete Rio Ave's third comeback and secure the point. For Estrela, the draw keeps their impressive early-season form intact and lifts them into 6th place with 10 points. Rio Ave, meanwhile, remain stuck near the relegation zone in 16th with just 4 points, though salvaging a share of the spoils after trailing three times will offer some encouragement as they search for their first home victory.
