PivotalOutstanding performance

Coritiba produced a stunning second-half turnaround at home against Bahia, overturning an early deficit to win 3-2 in a match that could prove pivotal in the Serie A relegation battle. Bahia looked in control for much of the opening hour, enjoying 56% possession and generating 44 dangerous attacks to Coritiba's 32, but their inability to convert any of their 12 shots — finishing with zero on target — ultimately cost them dearly. The hosts were galvanised by Ademir's introduction at the hour mark, and Bruno Melo's header from a Josué cross levelled matters at 56 minutes before Joaquín Lavega and Breno Lopes struck in rapid succession to turn a deficit into a three-goal cushion by the 68th minute. Coritiba's efficiency was ruthless: seven of their 13 shots tested the goalkeeper, and they punished every moment of Bahia hesitation with the kind of clinical edge their form entering this match had hinted at.
How entertaining was this match?
Two sides locked together on 23 points meet in Curitiba in what promises to be a tightly contested Brasileirão clash. Coritiba carry the momentum of a 3-0 win at Santos, while Bahia arrive with a mixed recent run but historically strong head-to-head record against their hosts. With both teams eyeing a move up the standings, something has to give at Estádio Couto Pereira.
