Outstanding performance
Bahia•AttackerBahia tore into Internacional after conceding an early Alan Patrick strike, ripping off four goals of their own inside 29 minutes to turn a losing position into a commanding 4-1 lead by halftime. Erick Da Costa Farias was the chief architect with two clinical finishes, while Erick Luis Conrado Carvalho added a third right on the stroke of the break to make the scoreline look emphatic. Internacional never stopped fighting, and Vitinho's strike just after the restart set up a nervy finish, but Bahia's dominance in possession (57%) and shots on target (6 to 3) proved decisive across the 90 minutes. For Bahia, this result cements their title credentials, while Internacional will be left to rue a defense that conceded four times despite 17 fouls committed trying to disrupt the hosts' rhythm.

Kick-off! The referee is Paulo Cesar Zanovelli.
In-form Bahia host a stumbling Internacional side at Arena Fonte Nova, looking to extend an unbeaten run against their opponents to a rivalry-best four matches. With Bahia sitting sixth and Inter mired down in 17th, this is a clash of contrasting trajectories despite Internacional's traditionally dominant head-to-head record.
