Ademir struck in the second half as Bahia fought back to draw 1-1 with Atlético Mineiro in the Brasileiro Série A, a result that leaves the home side needing to sharpen up before facing Palmeiras next. The game began with Atlético Mineiro controlling the early exchanges, and they took a deserved lead just before the interval.

Ruan put Atlético Mineiro ahead in the 45th minute, slotting home from a Bernard pass to cap a dominant first half. Bahia responded after the break, and Ademir levelled in the 57th minute, converting Rodrigo Nestor's assist to turn the momentum.

Despite the draw, the statistics tell of a game split in two: Atlético Mineiro bossed the first half with 56% possession and an xG of 0.65 to Bahia's 0.16, but Bahia overran them in the second, firing 14 shots to eight and generating 0.99 xG. Ademir was the standout, earning an 8/10 as the Bahia forward who scored the equaliser. CheckLive's model clearly favoured Atlético Mineiro, but the prediction was proven wrong as Bahia’s second-half surge earned a share of the spoils. Atlético Mineiro now prepare to host Palmeiras on 26 July.
