In the move, Khellven invaded the area and rolled for the attacker to only complete for the nets: 2 to 1.

At three minutes into the second half, Rodallega wasted a great chance to equalize. After a beautiful pass from Davó, the forward finished inside the area and demanded a great defense from Bento. At 18, Davó received the ball on a counterattack and sent it out. At ten minutes, Athletico arrived for the first time in a beat by Matheus Babi, stopped by the defense of Tricolor. At this point, the Bahia bench complained a lot with the referee and coach Guto Ferreira was yellowed.
Controlling the result in the second stage, Athletico started to scare again in the 44th minute, when Khellven hit a cross and demanded a good defense from Danilo Fernandes, in two halves.
