Bahia vs Palmeiras
Match Report
Palmeiras silenced the Fonte Nova crowd on April 5, claiming a 2-1 Série A win over Bahia thanks to a late, agonizing own goal. The decisive moment came when a corner deflected off Santiago Ramos Mingo, handing Bahia their first home defeat of the season.
Jhon Arias opened the scoring in the 41st minute, cutting in from the left and curling a brilliant finish into the top corner, assisted by Flaco López. Bahia hit back when David Duarte rose powerfully to meet an Éverton Ribeiro corner and headed home on 58 minutes. But with the clock winding down, an Andreas Pereira set-piece deflected off the unfortunate Ramos Mingo and crept in — a moment that sparked fierce protests from the home bench over a disputed foul in the build-up.
Palmeiras now sit five points clear at the Brasileirão summit with 25 points, while Bahia slip to fifth on 17. The hosts had kept a clean home record all season — that fortress has now fallen.
