How the match went

After a first half with no major chances for either side, the second half started with more excitement. Six minutes in, Hulk set up Bernard on a quick counterattack and Kanu stopped the play. After a VAR review, the player received a red card, leaving Bahia with one less on the field.

At the 21st minute, Hulk opened the scoring for Galo. The striker took advantage of the rebound from his own shot and finished first-time, powerfully, to beat goalkeeper Ronaldo.

Igor Gomes extended Atlético-MG's lead at the 30th minute. He and Hulk lined up to take the free kick and, despite the short distance, the midfielder surprised everyone and placed the ball in the top corner, scoring a beautiful goal.

Galo's third came just a minute later, at the 31st. Biel received a long pass from Rony on a counterattack down the right and found himself one-on-one with Ronaldo. Calmly, he shot through the goalkeeper's legs to find the back of the net.
