Bahia BA beat Remo PA 2-1 in Brasileirão - Série A at Arena Fonte Nova, with Jean Lucas putting the home side in front and a pair of 90th-minute penalties from Luciano and Vitor Bueno shaping the finish. The hosts never trailed on the way to the 2-1 result.

Match Summary

Nicolas Acevedo went into the book inside eight minutes, but Bahia still settled first. Jean Lucas had the hosts in front after 20 minutes, and Cristian Olivera was the provider. Bahia kept most of the ball from that point and took a 1-0 lead into half-time.

Remo stayed a goal down through the second half and could not force an equalizer from open play. Matheus Felipe was shown a yellow card as the visitors tried to slow Bahia down. The match then turned on two penalties in the 90th minute. Luciano converted from the spot to stretch Bahia's lead, and Vitor Bueno scored from a penalty of his own. Bahia still saw out the 2-1 win, with another home yellow arriving in the 90+5th minute.

Key Moments

The opener let Bahia play on their terms. With the lead in hand they could keep the ball, and Remo spent long stretches chasing rather than creating. That gap in control is why the visitors reached the closing minutes still looking for a way back.

The late penalties decided the final margin rather than the winner. Luciano's kick looked to have put the result beyond reach, then Vitor Bueno's reply in the same minute made the scoreline look tighter than the chances suggested. Remo put only two shots on target, so the spot-kick was their clearest route onto the scoresheet.

Bahia held 63 percent of possession to Remo's 37 and produced 17 shots, nine of them on target. Remo registered 13 shots but only two on target. Corners finished 7-6 in Bahia's favor. Two yellow cards went to the home side and one to Remo, with neither team shown a red card.
