Match Recap
Bahia Come From Behind to Stun Corinthians in Serie A Opener
Bahia secured a thrilling 2-1 victory over Corinthians at the Estádio Urbano Caldeira to kick off the new Serie A campaign, with Willian José’s penalty proving the difference in a match that lived up to its billing.
The Tricolor’s triumph was all the more impressive given they surrendered an early lead, with Breno Bidon firing Corinthians ahead after just 12 minutes. However, Bahia’s response was swift and decisive, with Jean Lucas equalising on 32 minutes before Willian José converted from the spot three minutes before the interval to complete the turnaround.
The result vindicated Bahia’s superior league position from last season, where they finished seven places above their hosts at seventh with 60 points to Corinthians’ 47. Their points-per-game average of 1.58 compared to 1.24 highlighted the gulf in class that ultimately told on the night.
Statistical dominance favoured the hosts despite the scoreline, with Corinthians enjoying 59% possession and registering 17 shots to Bahia’s 11. However, the visitors proved more clinical when it mattered, matching their opponents for shots on target (6-5) whilst maintaining defensive discipline.
The match’s defining moment came when Michel Araújo received his marching orders three minutes from time, collecting a second yellow card to leave Bahia with ten men. Yet the visitors held firm, their defensive resolve epitomising the character that saw them finish as the division’s seventh-best side last term.
Corinthians’ pre-match prediction of a 1-0 home victory ultimately proved wide of the mark, with their negative goal difference of -5 from last season perhaps offering a more accurate barometer of their current standing. The defeat leaves them with work to do as they attempt to climb from their mid-table position.
For Bahia, this statement victory sets the tone perfectly for their campaign, demonstrating they possess both the quality and mentality to challenge for European qualification once again.
