Bahia vs Internacional
Match Report
Bahia pulled off a thrilling comeback at Arena Fonte Nova, turning a first-half deficit into a 3-2 win over Internacional in front of over 31,000 fans. The standout moment came from Erick Pulga, whose acrobatic volley got the hosts level and set the tone for a wild opening 45 minutes.
Alan Patrick put Internacional ahead in the 15th minute, but Erick Pulga answered twice, in the 22nd and 41st minutes, before Erick completed the flip to make it 3-1 right at the break. Vitinho pulled one back early in the second half, but Bahia held on. Tempers flared throughout, with several yellow cards shown on both sides and Internacional boss Paulo Pezzolano booked for protesting.
The win keeps Bahia firmly in the mix for a top spot on the table, boosted by increasingly reliable form at home. For Internacional, it's a fifth straight match without a win, leaving them stuck in 16th place on 25 points and edging uncomfortably close to the relegation zone.
