Rio Ave “spoilt” Benfica’s last victory in this year’s league, after they drew 1-1 at home in the 94th minute to the “eagles” for the 34th and final matchday of the Primeira Liga and left them at -8 in second place from the already champions, Sporting Lisbon, who host relegated Chavez on Saturday and can finish this year’s league with +11 on their “spineless” rival, with the Lusitanians having long secured their place in the next Champions League qualifiers and the hosts to remain firmly in the middle of the standings.
Roger Schmidt’s players took the lead with Kocsou in the 32nd minute, missed chances and “paid” for it with the equalizer from Costinia’s penalty in the 94th minute.
Casa Pia “passed” with 2-1 from the headquarters of Famalikao, which is hoping for the ninth place in the final ranking, leaving the home team eighth.
