Bahia had most of the ball, with 56 percent of possession.

Moreno had, completely unprovoked, swept the legs out from under an opponent in front of a linesman, the referee gave the Bahia player a red card without batting an eyelid. fichadas had to make a substitution after 59 minutes. C. Danciu limped off the field and was replaced by M. Zuccato. One of many good crosses from I. Dücius on the wing was received and skillfully taken care of by F. van Eendenburg, who scored for Bahia. 3 - 0 Content with how the game was proceeding, the Bahia coach let L. Mejías replace F. van Eendenburg after 80 minutes. H.

Vargas got himself booked for a foul. Bahia enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 57 percent of possession.

L. Barrio de Cascalla performed admirably for Bahia. L. Mejías was a disappointment, however. fichadas's best player was R. Sabartés. On the other hand, M. Zuccato's play was disheartening. The match ends 3 - 0.
