Atlético held by Bahia at Arena MRV in the Brasileirão | OneFootball

Atlético drew 1-1 with Bahia on Tuesday night (21) at Arena MRV in the 19th round of the Brazilian Championship. Ruan Tressoldi opened the scoring for Galo in first-half stoppage time, but Ademir leveled things in the second half.

Galo were the better side for much of the first half and created the main chances of the match. Cuello and Cassierra threatened in the opening minutes, while Renan Lodi also tried his luck from outside the box.

When a draw before halftime seemed certain, Bernard took advantage of a rebound from a corner and sent another cross into the box. Ruan Tressoldi appeared unmarked at the far post and powered home a header to open the scoring in the 45th minute of the first half.

After the break, Bahia managed to level the score in the 11th minute through Ademir.

After the equalizer, the match became evenly balanced. Eduardo Domínguez brought on Cissé, Dudu, and Reinier, while Rogério Ceni responded with changes to the Bahia side. Atlético tried to apply pressure in the closing minutes, but struggled to break through the opposition defense and could not regain the lead.

With the draw, Galo add one more point in the Brazilian Championship and finish the first half of the competition in 10th place with 25 points. Now, in the second half of the season, Galo travel to São Paulo, where they will face Palmeiras next Sunday at 7:30 p.m.
