📹 Luciano shines as São Paulo beat Bahia, back to winning ways | OneFootball

At MorumBIS, São Paulo defeated Bahia 2-0 this Saturday (25th), in the 30th round of the 2025 Brasileirão.

With this result, Tricolor Paulista ended a tough streak of three consecutive rounds with only defeats.

The man of the match was Luciano, after all, the striker opened the scoring just seven minutes in, finishing Maik’s assist with a shot into Ronaldo’s top corner.

By finding the back of the net, the number 10 reached the milestone of 100 goals for São Paulo. 

Still in the first half, after Lucas Moura had a goal disallowed for offside, Tricolor Paulista extended the lead with Bobadilla, after a beautiful exchange of passes and a backheel assist from Luciano.

After the goal and the assist, still at halftime, Luciano lamented the criticism and boos he receives from São Paulo fans.

"I am so criticized and booed by my own fans and the opposing fans, but it’s okay, my teammates are with me."

🤯 What bad luck

On Bahia’s side, a bizarre sequence of injuries drew attention.

At halftime, coach Rogério Ceni made three changes, with Sanabria, Gilberto, and Luciano Juba coming in for Tiago, Santi Arias, and Iago, respectively.

The problem was that, before the 15th minute, the first two went down injured on the pitch and had to be substituted!

Besides the injuries, Bahia could have had better luck in the match if Jean Lucas had scored when one-on-one with Rafael, while the score was still 1-0.

🚦 What’s next

With the result, São Paulo reached 41 points and reclaimed eighth place in the standings. Bahia, meanwhile, stayed at 49 points and in fifth place.

The Tricolor teams return to the field only on Sunday (2nd), with the Paulistas visiting Vasco at São Januário, and the Bahians hosting RB Bragantino.
