EC Bahia produced a late comeback to defeat Mirassol FC 2–1 in a dramatic Campeonato Brasileiro Série A clash on matchday 11, played on 11 April 2026.
Mirassol took an early lead in fortuitous fashion. In the 14th minute, Bahia defender David Duarte inadvertently turned the ball into his own net, handing the hosts a 1–0 advantage. Despite Bahia’s efforts to respond, Mirassol held on to their lead through a first half that also saw Edson Carioca booked for the home side just before the interval.
The visitors reshaped at the break, with Gilberto introduced for Caio Alexandre, and gradually increased the pressure. Their persistence told midway through the second half. In the 65th minute, Bahia were awarded a penalty, and Luciano Juba converted confidently to level the score at 1–1.
Both coaches turned to their benches around the hour mark, with multiple substitutions for each side as the game opened up. Bahia manager Rogério Ceni was shown a yellow card in the 66th minute amid rising tension on the touchline, while Mirassol’s earlier bookings for José Aldo and Victor Luis added to the hosts’ disciplinary concerns.
The decisive moment arrived in the 89th minute. Substitute Mateo Sanabria, brought on in the 69th minute, struck for Bahia to complete the turnaround and put the visitors 2–1 ahead. Mirassol’s frustrations boiled over in stoppage time, with Rafael Guanaes and Carlos Eduardo both sent off in the 90th minute as the hosts finished with nine men.
Specific details such as full lineups, attendance figures and minute-by-minute statistical data were not available. However, the key moments underline a resilient Bahia performance, capped by Juba’s equaliser and Sanabria’s late winner, to secure three important points away from home in Série A.
