Esquivel’s opener was confirmed by VAR at 17'12", but Pulga brought Bahia level before the half-hour mark. Nicolas Acevedo was booked for the visitors, then Juan Felipe Aguirre and Arthur Dias saw yellow for the hosts before the interval.
Paranaense made two changes at halftime, with Pinto among the replacements. Bahia also made a pair of substitutions shortly after the hour, but Vargas again created the breakthrough as Pinto struck in the 68th minute. The hosts made two more changes late on, while Bahia brought on Everton Ribeiro and Everaldo.
The match stats included five yellow cards, three for Paranaense and two for Bahia. The late drama came at 90', when VAR awarded Bahia a penalty, but Everaldo missed from the spot. Paranaense held on to the 2-1 score. That was the match in summary: the hosts’ substitute made the difference, while Bahia’s last chance went begging.
