Match26 Aug 2026

The small margins put Bahia out

Out, 0‑1 to Corinthians, and the long argument about which of the small moments decided it. The league is all there is now, and everybody knows it.

Player ratings31 Aug 2026

Rodrigo Nestor was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 29. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Words exchanged at Bahia

Caio Alexandre and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Match29 Aug 2026

3 matches without a goal for Bahia

The chances are being made and something is happening between the making and the finishing. 3 matches now, and the anxiety in the ground arrives a little earlier every week.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Willian José falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

The dugout31 Aug 2026

The manager makes an example of Santiago Ramos Mingo

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Too much change too quickly at Bahia

9 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

The dugout31 Aug 2026

The form table has caught Everton Ribeiro

Somebody else has been better, the manager has said so with a team sheet, and there is no argument to be had. He will get the shirt back the only way it can be got back.

Player ratings31 Aug 2026

Gilberto stands above it all

Some games turn on a moment; this one turned on a man. 7.41 on the card, and the Bahia support went home talking about one name.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

Nobody could get near Michel Araújo

Successful dribbles: 44. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match19 Aug 2026

Bahia through in the cup

A 1‑0 win over São Paulo, and the draw for the next round can be watched with some interest for once.

Squad24 Aug 2026

A falling-out at Bahia

Erick Pulga and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Words at Bahia training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Caio Alexandre is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

The terraces24 Aug 2026

One of their own: Caio Suassuna

He is 19 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

A masterclass from Mateo Sanabria

Marked 8.32 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

The dugout24 Aug 2026

The manager makes an example of Willian José

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Gilberto stands above it all

Some games turn on a moment; this one turned on a man. 7.59 on the card, and the Bahia support went home talking about one name.

The dugout24 Aug 2026

Rodrigo Farias: “We have to be better”

“It is not the end of the world and it is not good enough. Both of those are true.” The manager, after a 0‑0 draw, said the honest thing and then went to say it again inside.
