The club from Salvador was able to win the dispute with Cruzeiro for 8th place, getting a point more (53 against 52).

Rogerio Ceni’s footballers again became state champions. And, having qualified against Strongest and Boston River, the Brazilians played well in the group round of the Copa Libertadores – they lost for the first time only in the 4th round (that happened in the battle against Nacional, which had been beaten at the home arena before). They also lost in the game against Atletico Nacional last week. Speaking about the Serie A, the club started with 3 points in 4 rounds, then beat the opponents 3 times, but lost to Flamengo in May. And it managed to beat only Vitoria. Luizinho Lopes’s wards could not win in the second division of the country. The team also drew in the meetings with America Mineiro and Goias.

Bahia started the cup tournament right on the field of Paysandú in the first match of the 1/16 finals. For the opponent, that was also the beginning of the competition.
