Bragantino started brightly and looked in control after Lucas Barbosa's early opener, dominating possession and racking up 24 shots to Bahia's 11 over the course of the match. But Bahia turned a rocky opening into a ruthless finishing exhibition, hitting back through Luciano Juba's penalty and Alejo Veliz's strike to lead 1-2 by halftime, before Santiago Ramos Mingo's own goal briefly leveled things again. Erick's 50th-minute finish, set up by Rodrigo Nestor, proved the decisive blow, and despite Bragantino's territorial dominance (65 to 48 in dominance rating) and a staggering 88 dangerous attacks to Bahia's 40, they could not find a way through as Bahia's goalkeeper made 9 saves to preserve the win. The result underlines Bragantino's frustrating trend of controlling matches without controlling scorelines, while Bahia's clinical edge in front of goal continues to make them dangerous regardless of who dominates the ball.
