Match recap

Match Impact

Bahia did not just protect a lead — they protected home advantage around one decisive moment. Alan Patrick's 16th-minute goal was enough for a 3–2 home win over Internacional, with Bahia backing it up through 13 shots, 6 on target, 57% possession, 2.39 xG. The table gap made this more about protecting position than a direct swing. Bahia had pressure and moments without enough finish, while Bahia took the result by being sharper in the key phases.

Hidden story: Bahia controlled the pressure, Bahia controlled the result.
Turning point: Alan Patrick's first-half goal survived everything after it.
What it means: the large table gap made this about protecting position, not a direct table swing.
