The 23rd round of the Brasileirão 2025 ended on Monday (15).
Cruzeiro ended Bahia's unbeaten home run, with a 2 x 1 turnaround at the Arena Fonte Nova.
Unlike what happened in the Copa do Brasil, in the middle of the week, the Steel Tricolor showed a lot of disposition in each play.
The Fox, on the other hand, bet on counterattacks and the verticality of its attack.
The "festival" of great goals started with Jean Lucas, with a bomb from outside the area, to open the score for Bahia.
With the disadvantage on the scoreboard, coach Leonardo Jardim made substitutions that completely changed the way Cruzeiro plays.
The Minas Gerais team went forward and drew with Sinisterra, after a spectacular play by Matheus Pereira, with a nutmeg inside the area.
In the final stretch, the Cabuloso gained confidence and went in search of the turnaround.
After a short free-kick, Gabigol fired a ROCKET IN THE ANGLE of Ronaldo to decree the 2 x 1 for Cruzeiro.
With the victory, the celestial team - which has not lost away from home for five months - regained the vice-leadership, surpassing Palmeiras and sticking to Flamengo.
Meanwhile, Bahia - which has not won for three games, counting Brasileirão and Copa do Brasil - remained in fifth place, that is, out of the G-4, which was completed with the "surprise" Mirassol.
