SE Palmeiras claimed a dramatic 2–1 away win over EC Bahia on Sunday, securing all three points in their Campeonato Brasileiro Série A Matchday 10 clash with a late own goal in Salvador.
The visitors went ahead in the 42nd minute. Jhon Arias finished off a move created by José Manuel López, giving Palmeiras a 1–0 lead shortly before half-time. The forward later went into the referee’s book in the second half, but his first-half strike set the tone for the visitors.
Bahia responded after the interval. In the 58th minute, defender David Duarte drew the hosts level, converting after experienced playmaker Éverton Ribeiro provided the assist. The equaliser shifted momentum briefly towards Rogério Ceni’s side, who looked to build on their spell of pressure.
Both coaches turned to their benches around the hour mark. Palmeiras introduced Luighi Hanri, Lucas Evangelista and Ramón Sosa in a triple substitution on 60 minutes, followed soon after by Felipe Anderson. Bahia replied with a flurry of changes of their own, bringing on Erick, Willian José, Ademir Santos, Michel Araujo and later Dell in search of a winner.
The decisive moment arrived in the 88th minute, and it was cruel on Bahia. Santiago Ramos, under pressure inside his own area, turned the ball into his own net, restoring Palmeiras’ advantage and ultimately sealing the 2–1 result. The goal was recorded as an own goal against the Bahia player, with no assist credited.
The match featured a series of yellow cards for both sides, including bookings for Palmeiras figures Abel Ferreira, Agustin Giay, Khellven and Luighi Hanri, while Bahia’s Luciano Juba, Rogério Ceni and Gabriel Xavier were also cautioned. No further detailed statistics beyond goals, bookings and substitutions were available at the time of writing.
With the victory, Palmeiras leave Salvador with a valuable away win to bolster their position in the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A standings, while Bahia are left to reflect on a costly late error.
