Bahia 2–1 Remo | Série A | 14 September 2026

Result Summary

Bahia secured a hard-fought 2–1 victory over Remo at home, maintaining their authority in what proved to be a competitive Série A fixture. Despite only one goal being officially recorded in the match facts — Jean Lucas de Souza Oliveira's 20th-minute opener — the final scoreline confirmed Bahia's superiority on the night, with Rogério Ceni's side ultimately grinding out the three points against a Remo side that pushed them all the way.

Match Analysis

Bahia were the dominant force throughout, and the numbers underline that emphatically. 63% ball possession, a 90% successful pass rate, and 115 attacks to Remo's 67 painted the picture of a home side largely in control. With 66 dangerous attacks compared to Remo's 30, Bahia consistently threatened, and their 9 shots on target to Remo's 3 highlighted the gulf in cutting edge between the two sides.

The opening goal arrived early, with Jean Lucas de Souza Oliveira converting in the 20th minute from an assist by Cristian Olivera, a right-foot finish that set the tone for Bahia's dominance. It was a reward for Bahia's early assertiveness and gave Ceni's side a platform from which to work.

The first half was not without its tensions, however. Nicolás Acevedo picked up an early yellow card in the 8th minute for a foul, a booking that would eventually factor into his substitution late in the second half. Bahia's physicality was a recurring theme — they committed 18 fouls across the match, compared to Remo's 12.

Remo head coach Leonardo Condé made a bold tactical move at half-time, introducing four substitutes simultaneously — Vitor Frezarin Bueno, Gabriel Pereira Taliari, José Welison da Silva, and shortly after, Alef Mangueira — in an attempt to shift the momentum. The changes injected energy into Remo's play and ultimately contributed to their goal to make it a tense finish, though Bahia's defensive structure, anchored by Victor Hugo and the experienced backline, held firm.

Bahia's own substitutions in the 72nd and 79th minutes — including the introductions of Éverton Ribeiro and Ademir da Silva Santos Junior — helped manage the closing stages and absorb Remo's pressure. The final whistle arrived amid late drama, with Cristian Olivera picking up a yellow card deep in stoppage time for dissent, but the result was never truly in doubt.

Corners were nearly level — 7 for Bahia, 6 for Remo — and both sides registered 6 shots off target, suggesting that while Bahia dominated structurally, Remo were capable of creating opportunities of their own, making this a closer contest than the xG-equivalent statistics might imply in isolation.
