Rio Ave vs FC Porto

FC Porto made light work of Rio Ave at the Estádio do Rio Ave, cruising to a 2-0 away win built on a fast start and disciplined defending. The champions struck early and never looked troubled afterward, despite Rio Ave forcing a couple of half-chances that went unrewarded. Nehuén Pérez headed Porto in front in the 11th minute, converting a corner after a mix-up let him in unmarked. Rio Ave had a let-off before the break when a Porto goal was chalked off for offside, and goalkeeper Diogo Costa denied Tamble Monteiro's header to keep the clean sheet intact. Borja Sainz settled matters late on, tapping home in the 81st minute after a pass from Hwang Inbeom. The result lets FC Porto follow up their opening-day win with another three points as they chase Sporting at the top, while Rio Ave remain without a point after two rounds and face mounting pressure to find their first goals of the campaign.
