Athletico loses to Bahia and completes four stumbles in a row at home

Playing at Ligga Arena, with support from the fans, is not enough for Athetico to win in the Brazilian Championship Series A. On Wednesday (10), the red-black lost to the Bahia, by 3 to 1, accumulated four consecutive matches without victory at home and closed the day in seventh place in the ranking, with 25 points in 16 rounds. Everaldo, Biel and Luciano Juba scored the goals of the Bahian tricolor and Lucas Di Yorio was Athletico's goalkeeper, who also at the Arena tied with Flamengo (1 to 1) and Corinthians (1 to 1) and lost to Sao Paulo (2 to 1).

O Bahia He mastered Athletico in the first half. The Bahian team took advantage of a Hurricane climbed with many changes and easily opened the marker. At 10 minutes, Gilbert gave Everaldo a pass that, with a beak kick at the right angle of Léo Linck, scored a goal for the visitors. Shortly after, at 16, the Steel Tricolor scored another one. In counterattack, Everaldo played for Jean Lucas who, in turn, gave a clear pass to Biel. Alone in the small area, he just pushed for the bottom of the goal. O Bahia, who had clear chances of scoring one more, caused the Athletico to leave the field booed at the end of the initial stage.

In the second half, Athletico came back better and tried to pressure the Bahia. And it didn't take long to cash it. At 15 minutes, Fernando made a fine crossing in the area and found Lucas di Yorio, who, head-on, won goalkeeper Marcos Felipe and made the goal of Hurricane. However, confidence, which increased with each finalization given against the goal of the Bahian Tricolor, was shaken at 34 minutes. In charge of absence, Luciano Juba counted on deviation in the barrier to take the goalkeeper Léo Linck from the bid and score the 3rd goal of the visitors at the Ligga Arena. At the final whistle, "shame" shouts dictated the rhythm of the athletic crowd.
