Unseen hero's penalty save anchors Vitória at Bahia

He was finally beaten in the sixth minute of first half stoppage time, yet his composure after the restart steadied Leão da Barra.

In the sixth minute of second half stoppage time, he dived low to turn away Mateo Sanabria's shot, preserving parity for Nêgo. Across the game he produced six saves, including three inside the box, underlining a command of his area that repeatedly relieved pressure.
