Standout star carries Bahia to victory | OneFootball

Erick Pulga levelled in the 23rd minute with a right-footed finish, setting Bahia up to beat Internacional 3-2. The Brazilian forward's brace shaped a breathless first half.

Meeting a Nicolás Acevedo cross, Pulga found the gap between defenders and swept into the roof (23.). His movement across the line repeatedly dragged markers out of position.

He nearly struck again with a close-range header that Matheus Cunha tipped over (27.). Then he put Tricolor Baiano ahead with a low strike from outside the box after linking with Alejo Veliz (42.).

After the restart he burst down the left and shot over (60.). He later teed up Ademir for a blocked effort, showing he could create as well as finish (67.).

Pulga finished with four attempts, three on target, and six successful dribbles, plus six touches in the box, underlining how he troubled Inter between the lines. His direct running kept Colorado's back line retreating, allowing Esquadrão de Aço to control the key phases.

Tricolor Baiano rise from sixth to fifth and visit RB Bragantino next, while Inter host Santos in their upcoming league fixture.
