Standout star ignites RB Bragantino but Bahia prevail | OneFootball

Lucas Barbosa opened the scoring in the 14th minute with a composed left-footed finish, yet Bahia beat RB Bragantino 3-2.

Fed by Wallace Yan's through ball, Lucas Barbosa arrived in the centre of the box and slotted low into the bottom-right corner, setting the early tone for the hosts.

Braga's midfielder then teed up Rodriguinho for a low drive that Bahia goalkeeper Ronaldo gathered (21.). He remained busy after the restart, glancing a header against the left post (55.).

A left-footed strike was blocked (67.). He drew another save with a long-range effort (74.) and later slipped in Henry Mosquera for a shot that was pushed away (80.). He departed late on after an industrious shift (82.).

He finished with five attempts, two on target, and created two chances. Seven possession regains and eleven successful final third passes underlined how he kept Massa Bruta on the front foot despite the setback.
