Bahia defeated Sao Paulo 3-2 at Arena Fonte Nova in Salvador during the 33rd round of the Brazilian Championship. The match took place on Wednesday night.

Sao Paulo conceded two goals within the first ten minutes. Both goals came from crosses from the right side, with Rodrigo Nestor and Erick Pulga getting ahead of the Sao Paulo defense.

“It is not a tactical issue, that is a level of attention, of preparation.”

— Dorival Junior

Sao Paulo recovered to equalize in the first half through individual efforts by Lucas and Bobadilla. However, Bahia regained the lead late in the second half when Marcos Victor headed in a cross from an aerial ball.

The loss leaves Sao Paulo in tenth place with 43 points. Bahia moved up to sixth place with 53 points.

Sao Paulo coach Dorival Junior criticized his team's lack of attention, saying it was not a tactical issue but a matter of focus and preparation. He compared the defensive lapses to the previous match against Mirassol.

Sao Paulo will next face Corinthians on Wednesday the 4th at Vila Belmiro in Santos. Sabino will miss the match due to accumulating three yellow cards. Bahia will visit Cruzeiro one day later.
