Bahia and Vasco da Gama played out a goalless draw in a tight, competitive Brasileiro Série A encounter. Neither side could find the net, with both defences holding firm and clear chances at a premium.
Vasco edged the attacking numbers, finishing with 14 shots to Bahia's 11 and three on target to two. Bahia had slightly more of the ball at 51 per cent, but the away side created the better openings, forcing three saves from the Bahia goalkeeper. Three yellow cards were shown in a physical contest.
The expected goals summed up the balance: Bahia 0.53, Vasco 0.65. Vasco shaded the shot count and the clearer opportunities, but a solid defensive display and the home goalkeeper's three saves ensured the spoils were shared.
