Unseen hero rescues AVS against Vitória S.C. | OneFootball

Adriel changed it in the 27th minute with a raking assist, then added five saves as AVS drew 1-1 with Vitória S.C.

The Brazilian goalkeeper turned defence into attack with a driven pass that split the visitors' back line (27.). His distribution sparked the move that brought the hosts level and shifted the game's momentum.

After the restart he kept AVS on terms, parrying Miguel Nogueira's effort from the centre of the box with firm hands (57.). The positioning was tidy and the rebound area clean, denying a simple follow-up.

He produced his standout stop late on, tipping Diogo Sousa's rising strike away from the top corner (83.). Across the afternoon he finished with five saves, two high claims and nine successful passes into the final third, underlining how his kicking repeatedly bypassed the press.

That direct outlet suited AVS, as his early release into the channels drew Vitória's midfield out and created space for runners. When the visitors pushed, his handling steadied the hosts and protected the point.

AVS visit Rio Ave next in the league. Vitória S.C. travel to Gil Vicente.
