EC Bahia BA 0:0 CR Vasco da Gama RJ — Informe del Partido

Gary RedknappFootball AnalystINFORME DEL PARTIDO

Bahia and Vasco da Gama ground out a goalless draw in the Brasileiro Série A, with neither side able to force a winner and Robert Renan's composed display at the back earning him the standout honours. It was a scrappy, attritional affair in which the two sides cancelled each other out, leaving both without a victory to carry forward.

The match turned on a series of small flashpoints rather than a single moment of brilliance. Vasco had a VAR check waved away in the 23rd minute, while Ademir was booked for Bahia before the game had even kicked off. Cuiabano and Thiago Mendes both saw yellow in the first half, and from there the contest settled into a midfield slog, with neither goalkeeper truly tested despite the visitors' growing urgency after the interval.

The numbers tell a story of Vasco's quiet superiority. They edged possession overall at 49% against Bahia's 51%, but fired 14 shots to the hosts' 11 and created a higher expected goals tally of 0.65 to 0.53, with six corners to four. Vasco also dominated the second half, pressing harder and taking nine shots to Bahia's six. Robert Renan was the standout, marshalling the back line with a rating of eight out of ten from his defensive berth. CheckLive's model rated Vasco the stronger side, but the result did not confirm it, and the live signals backed them without reward.
