In August 2018, Acevedo was loaned to FC Zorya Luhansk of the Ukrainian Premier League. [9] He went goalless in 11 total matches in Eastern Europe.
On 2 September 2019, Acevedo went back to Portugal's second tier, joining Varzim S.C. on loan. [10] He scored on 17 December as they defeated Anadia F.C. 2–1 after extra time to reach the quarter-finals of the Taça de Portugal. [11]
