In the Bahian confrontation in the Northeast Cup, Bahia and Juazeirense, they were just a goalless draw at Adauto Moraes Stadium, on Wednesday night (5), for the second round of the tournament. >
Faced with Adauto’s bad lawn, Bahia ran a few risks, but made a game of low intensity and wasted the good chances he had. The center forward Everaldo stopped twice in goalkeeper Igor Leonardo. >
The draw left Bahia with four points in Nordestão. Tricolor leads group B, but may lose the tip of the table to CSA, which faces Ceará in the round complement. Juá added its first point and occupies the sixth place. >
The two teams will now turn their attention to Baianão. On Sunday, Bahia receives a lap in Fonte Nova. Already Cancão faces Atletico de Alagoinhas, at home. >
Rogério Ceni returned the cast, but climbed players considered holders this year. Gilberto, Ramos Mingo, Jean Lucas and Cauly went to the game. The midfielder Erick was also climbed again, while Everaldo began as the attack reference. >
The duel started caught, with many disputes in midfield. Faced with a tall and heavy lawn, Bahia had difficulty building the plays on the floor. With more possession, the tricolor controlled the game. At ten minutes, Cauly took a free kick in the area and David Duarte straightened to the middle, but the defense managed to cut. >
The ball from the top, by the way, was one of the weapons of Bahia. In a new cross in the area, Ramos Mingo took a strong head and, once again, goalkeeper Igor saved Cancão. >
The game was warm in much of the first half, but in the final stretch Bahia again appeared in danger. At 40 minutes, Gilberto crossed, Tiago straightened and Everaldo amended a first bomb. The goalkeeper of Juazeirense saved and guaranteed the partial draw. >
Despite the bad performance in the first stage, Bahia returned from the break with the same lineup. The landscape of the duel has not changed in the first few minutes either. The squad had the dominance of the game, but with little intensity in the attack. >
To make matters worse, when he could create, the tricolor showed that the foot was not calibrated. Everaldo received release, won from the marking and came out with the goal. The shirt 9 kicked weak and lost an amazing chance.>
Ceni then decided to change the team. Newcomer Willian José entered the place of Cauly, who did not make a good match, while Ruan Pablo went to the game in place of James. The changes have not had so much effect. Despite two references in the area, the tricolor was hardly enough. >
Meanwhile, Juazeirense tried to tighten. In a quick counterattack, striker Tata Baiano experienced from outside the area, but the ball exploded in defense. The rebound stayed with Tata himself, but the tricolor block cut one more. >
Time went by and the match followed a weak pace. Little efficient in the attack, Juazeirense and Bahia failed to swing the nets and the confrontation ended even tied. >
