Decisive figure seals it late for Bahia in Salvador | OneFootball

Jean Lucas won it in the seventh minute of second half stoppage time with a composed left-footed finish, as Bahia beat Vitória 2-0 away.

Soon after coming on, Lucas rattled the right post from the right side after a pass from Luciano Juba (75.). The substitute immediately stretched Leão da Barra between the lines and forced them deeper.

Then, deep into second half stoppage time, he timed his run to the penalty spot to sweep in Michel Araújo's cut-back into the bottom left, the decisive moment for the Tricolor Baiano.

Lucas finished with two attempts, two successful dribbles and eight completed passes from eight, underlining the control he added as Bahia managed the closing stages.

Because Nêgo sat off late on, his forward bursts kept spaces open in transition and ensured the Tricolor Baiano dictated the final passages.

Bahia remain sixth in the league table and host Internacional next. Leão da Barra are 12th.
