In a high-octane Brasileirão Serie A match, Bahia and Fluminense battled to a thrilling 3-3 draw at the Casa de Apostas Arena Fonte Nova. The match, which took place on August 9, 2025, saw both teams trade blows in an exhilarating display of attacking football.
Fluminense's German Cano was the standout performer, scoring twice to put his team ahead. However, Bahia fought back, with goals from Everton Ribeiro and Luciano Juba, along with an own goal from Fluminense's Facundo Bernal. Nonato also found the back of the net for Fluminense.
The result marks a continuation of Bahia's strong home form, as they remain unbeaten at home in the league this season. The "Steel Squadron" is currently in a solid position in the standings, sitting in fourth place with 29 points. Fluminense, on the other hand, is in ninth place with 23 points.
Both teams entered the match having recently qualified for the Copa do Brasil quarterfinals, albeit in different circumstances. Bahia advanced after a narrow 3-2 aggregate victory over Série C side Retrô, while Fluminense overcame a tougher opponent in Internacional with a 3-2 aggregate win.
With a congested fixture list ahead, including Copa Sudamericana commitments for Fluminense, both managers made some changes to their lineups. Fluminense's manager Renato Gaúcho rested several key players due to fatigue and a pending suspension for right back Samuel Xavier.
This exciting six-goal thriller highlights the competitive nature of the Brasileirão, and both teams will look to build on their performances as the season progresses.
