Bahia's 2-1 win was deserved, reflecting their superior control and attacking threat throughout the match. With 63% possession, Bahia outshot Remo 17 to 14, but crucially registered nine shots on target compared to Remo's three. The home side's clinical edge in the box was evident, with 15 shots inside the area and an xG advantage that ultimately proved decisive.

Jean Lucas opened the scoring in the 20th minute, assisted by Cristian Olivera, after Bahia had already established dominance. Despite Remo's late surge, including a 90+6-minute penalty by Vitor Bueno, Bahia sealed the win through Luciano's penalty in stoppage time. Bahia's efficiency in front of goal, combined with their ability to create high-quality chances, was the difference. Remo's five substitutions attempted to shift momentum, but they couldn't match Bahia's sustained pressure.

The decisive stat was Bahia's seven corners to Remo's six, highlighting their attacking intent and ability to pin Remo back. While the scoreline was narrow, the data underscores Bahia's superiority in both control and execution.
