Decisive figure clinches victory for Bahia at Internacional | OneFootball

Willian José decided it in the 23rd minute with a right-footed finish from close range, as Bahia beat Internacional 1-0.

He converted from very close range into the centre of the net, giving Bahia early control and a lead to manage.

From there, José grafted for the team, winning two tackles and regaining possession three times as Colorado pushed on, before making way (59.).

He ended with one attempt and one on target, plus one aerial win and 23 touches, a tidy, low-error shift that matched Bahia's pragmatic away plan.

His movement and hold-up play continually offered an outlet, helping Tricolor Baiano relieve pressure and reset attacks while Inter searched for a response.

Tricolor Baiano are third and host RB Bragantino next. Inter visit Santos.
