Towards BA-VE 500: the classics that marked the story

Every Ba-Vi, somehow, carries with it the feeling of being historical. When going to a stadium to watch the classic Bahia and Vitória, each fan takes the emotion of those who are seeing a show in their hearts. Still, in some of them, the most striking, important and impactful chapters of one of the greatest rivalries of football are written, under prior warning or not. This Saturday (1), Ba-Vi de number 500 already promises the story. But many others before him wrote it without even promising. >

The beginning of everything was in 1932, when on April 10, a 20 -minute game in Campo da Graça was played between the two teams. Short, the duel was valid for the beginning of Bahia tournament, a kind of Bahian pre-championship, with qualifiers composed of two times of ten minutes. The duel had a tricolor triumph by 3×0: two goals from Raúl, and one from Gambarotta, one of the club’s founders. >

But it is wrong to think that there was some dynasty. Both teams alternated throughout history, with goals on both sides and games dominated by different teams each time. On the side of Bahia, the most elastic score was December 8, 1939, 10×1, in Campo da Graça. For Vitória, it was on the State Independence Day, on July 2, 1948, for the so famous score 7×1. >

Speaking of rout, it is impossible not to remember a specific 7×3, which in 2013 yielded the Red-Black the state title. Coming from a 5×1 defeat won over the biggest rival in the game that inaugurated the opposing house, the Fonte Nova Arena, Leão da Barra has arrived as a favorite for the first game of the Baianão final, and made it worth it. >

Said and right – with four goals from Dinei, and one from Gabriel Paulista, Fabrício and Max Biancucchi, the seven goals of Vitória stacked on Tricolor, against Fernandão’s two and one from Adriano. To lose the final, it would be necessary to take five goals in the next game, played inside Barradão. Helping its owner, the red-black house witnessed only a 1-1 draw, ensuring the Bahian of Vitória without blinking. >

If someone taught Bahia to believe until the last second, this one was Raudinei. From the 46th minute of the 2nd time, he has never ceased to be mentioned in each team’s suffering, in the phrase that says “Bahia is an eternal goal of Raudinei.” The swing of the networks that originated this story secured the Bahian Tricolor Championship when it was marked in a Ba-Vi on August 7, when 97,240 people followed the highest audience classic to the present day. >

Bahia received a victory almost entirely composed of the team that had taken the deputy in Brasileirão only a year earlier. But the great blue, red and white asset was not on the field. From the bank, I Watched Raudinei, who stepped on the grass in the 2nd half as a substitute for Maciel and made his way to glory. >

Starting almost as a villain, the attacker foul in Golden on 42 minutes, receiving a yellow card and a visit from the Military Police accompanied by journalists on the pitch. With the cornflower of the skin, at 46, he saved the title of Bahia by scoring the equalizer. >

“Look where the Jean is in his intermediate! It nudes with Missinho on the right. Bahia fans that went back… China and… Raudinei. Goal! GOOOOOOOOOOOOL! It can be the title! ”Shouted Chico Queiroz’s narration when the ball was finished by Raudinei’s left leg. >

Ba-Vis end in the last second, or end even before normal time, as on February 18, 2018, when the Red-Black forced expulsion and took a WO or as in 1999, when Tricolor went to court so as not Play in Barradão. >

Vai Ba-Vi, Come Ba-Vi, and the stories of the confrontation never cease to be written. It is in the fan, always, the emotion and expectation to watch the next pieces of the greatest rivalry of the Northeast, which of joy in anguish, is closer than ever of its long -awaited half a thousandth.>
