Coach Thiago Carpini set up a different formation to face the Paranaense team, opting for three center-backs while still pressing the opposition’s ball movement. With the ball at their feet, the Bahia team struggled with the same issue and often had to resort to direct long balls to create any offensive plays.
Athletico took the lead in the 30th minute of the first half when Julimar crossed from the right, and an indecisive Lucas Arcanjo allowed the ball to slip into the net. Just two minutes later, in the 32nd minute, center-back Kaíque Rocha made a critical mistake, gifting the ball to Alerrandro, who advanced into the area and finished with a low shot. Vitória sealed the win with Matheusinho’s goal in the 20th minute of the second half.
With this result, Vitória breathes a sigh of relief, jumping to 12th place with 38 points, four ahead of the first team in the relegation zone. That team is Athletico-PR, which remains in the relegation zone with 34 points, just one point behind Bragantino, who sits just above the drop zone.
