Bahia edge Internacional as Pulga double lifts them into fifth | OneFootball

Bahia beat Internacional 3-2 at the Fonte Nova to climb from sixth to fifth in the Brasileirão, with Erick Pulga's brace and Erick's stoppage time finish before the break proving decisive.

Before the interval, Matheus Cunha tipped away Cristian Olivera's drive, and after the restart he clawed out Alejo Veliz's header, but the Tricolor Baiano carried the greater threat.

Vitinho pulled one back (52.) from Alan Patrick's pass. Soon after, the Tricolor Baiano introduced Ademir and Michel Araújo (56.), and Veliz later forced another save as the hosts managed the closing stages.
