Abdul Aziz Yakubu on target as Rio Ave hold Vizela

Ghanaian striker Abdul Aziz Yakubu scored a crucial goal to help Rio Ave secure a 1-1 draw against Vizela in their Round 31 match of the Liga Portugal.

This goal marked his sixth of the season since his return to the club in January from China.

Aziz has been a standout performer for Rio Ave, having previously impressed at Wuhan Three Towns, where he netted 15 goals in 23 appearances.

The 25-year-old opened the scoring early in the game, but Vizela equalized through Samuel Essende in the 37th minute, leading to a shared result after both halves.
