It was during Jean Lucas’s celebration that tensions flared between Bahia and Vitória players. Right after finding the net at Barradão, the midfielder took off his shirt and stretched it out toward the Barradão fans.

After that, Cacá, a Vitória center-back, took the shirt from Jean Lucas and tried to tear it, but failed. When referee Raphael Claus saw what was happening, he stepped in, warned the Vitória player, and prevented the act from being carried out.

After Bahia’s win, Jean Lucas spoke to reporters as he left Barradão Stadium. In his comments, the former Flamengo player explained that he had not disrespected Vitória and also made clear how happy he was to score the winning goal in the derby.

– It wasn’t disrespectful, football is losing a bit of its fun. Back in the day, guys used to do all kinds of celebrations. Nowadays you can’t take your shirt off and show it to the crowd. Football is getting a little boring. You just have to enjoy the moment, the fans needed it, and we were coming off a draw. There’s nothing better than these three points -, said Jean Lucas.
