Bahia Beats Corinthians Away with Lightning Goal and 9-Minute VAR

In a match marked by VAR delays, Bahia relied on a lightning goal to beat Corinthians 2-1 at Neo Química Arena today in the 20th round of the Brazilian Championship. Michel Araújo opened the scoring in the first minute, and Willian José, from a penalty, also scored for Bahia in the first half, while Gui Negão netted for Corinthians. The home team even had a Garro goal disallowed. Due to the reviews of the hosts’ goals, the referee added 12 minutes of stoppage time. In the second half, Corinthians improved and even had moments of pressure, but couldn’t change the score. Vitinho, who was announced last week, came on in the 66th minute and boosted Corinthians’ attack.
