Rivera accepted the invitation to defend for Dearest Brazil. In Gavia, the Ecuadorian mission would be to form the central defense alongside names like Fabio and then Ronaldão. Rivera played 15 games for Fla, all in 1996. The following year he returned to his home country, to defend the Barcelona of Guayaquil for three seasons.
