Keepers shine as Rio Ave and Famalicão share spoils

Rio Ave and Famalicão drew 0-0 at the Estádio do Rio Ave Futebol Clube, a result that keeps the visitors sixth and halts the hosts' four-match league losing run.

In the 16th minute, Dário Spikic forced Lazar Carevic into a low save from distance.

Carevic then parried Tamble Monteiro's close-range header (25.), before blocking Andreas Ntoi's nod down (43.) as the hosts pressed.

After the restart, Pedro Miguel Costa Santos struck the right post (50.) from Sorriso's pass, and Ennio Van der Gouw tipped away Mathias de Amorim's drive (55.) to keep it level.

Late changes gave Rio Ave fresh legs, with João Tomé drawing another stop from Carevic in the third minute of second half stoppage time after a flurry of corners.

Rio Ave tallied 16 attempts, with four on target. Famalicão registered 10 attempts and hit the woodwork once.
