David Duarte heads Bahia level as hosts rise to fifth | OneFootball

Bahia 1-1 Corinthians at the Fonte Nova, lifting the hosts from sixth to fifth in the Brasileirão.

Fabrizio Angileri put Corinthians ahead in the eighth minute with a left-footed strike from distance, set up by André. Moments later, Alejo Véliz thought he had levelled, but his finish was overturned after a VAR review.

The equaliser arrived in the fourth minute of first half stoppage time as David Duarte rose to glance in Rodrigo Nestor's delivery following a corner. After the restart, Tricolor Baiano pushed on, with Erick Pulga missing chances inside the box and Éverton Ribeiro seeing a drive blocked.

Ronaldo kept Timão honest by tipping over Matheuzinho's audacious hit from near halfway after the interval, while the visitors offered little else in attack. Late on, Yuri Alberto went off injured and was replaced by André Carrillo.

Tricolor Baiano controlled long spells, posting 60.4% possession and 13 attempts. Timão registered five efforts and cleared their lines 31 times as they protected the point.

Next up, Tricolor Baiano visit Fluminense. Timão host Athletico Paranaense.
