EC Bahia BA 1:1 Corinthians SP — Informe del Partido

Gary RedknappFootball AnalystINFORME DEL PARTIDO

David Duarte scored a first-half equaliser as Bahia held Corinthians to a 1-1 draw in the Brasileiro Série A, a result that keeps Bahia in touch with the chasing pack ahead of their next fixture against Fluminense. The defender's goal cancelled out Fabrizio Angileri's early opener for the visitors, leaving both sides with a point they might view rather differently.

The match turned on two moments either side of the interval. Corinthians struck first through Fabrizio Angileri, who finished from André Luiz's pass in the eighth minute, but Bahia responded just before the break when Rodrigo Nestor's delivery found David Duarte to level matters in the 45th minute. A flurry of yellow cards punctuated the contest, with Fabrizio Angileri and David Duarte among six players booked, while a VAR check for Bahia in the 12th minute added to the early tension.

On the numbers, Bahia dominated the contest with 60% possession, 12 shots to Corinthians' five, and an xG of 0.65 against 0.17, but they could not turn that control into a winner. David Duarte was the standout performer with a rating of 7.8 out of ten, scoring the equaliser from centre-half. CheckLive's model clearly favoured Corinthians and the draw confounded that prediction, with the visitors unable to sustain their early pressure. Bahia now host Fluminense on 30 July.
