In this fiercely contested match, Cruzeiro EC (Women) narrowly edged out EC Bahia (Women) with a 1-0 victory, thanks to a goal scored in the second half. The decisive play came from disciplined teamwork in overcoming Bahia's aggressive defense. Despite having fewer corner kicks (4 compared to Bahia's 7), Cruzeiro effectively managed their attempts, capitalizing on limited opportunities to convert one crucial chance.

Discipline played a pivotal role, as Bahia's lack of composure resulted in four yellow cards, significantly impeding their flow and rhythm. Cruzeiro, while also collecting two yellow cards and a red card, demonstrated strategic caution within critical areas, avoiding further suspensions that could have been costly. The concentrated defensive efforts, despite aggression leading to many fouls (17), showcased Cruzeiro's commitment to controlling the game's pace and maintaining their lead.

Both teams exhibited comparable efficiency in forward positioning, with Cruzeiro slightly leading in offsides (4) compared to Bahia's 3. This indicates both teams' attempts to play aggressively forward, yet Cruzeiro's superior defensive organization disrupted Bahia's attacks effectively. Ultimately, Cruzeiro's ability to maintain tactical discipline and capitalize on key moments underscored their marginal yet decisive superiority on the day.
