EC Bahia managed to strike first during the 28th minute of the game, making it a challenging start for the home team. Nevertheless, Fluminense came back vigorously in the second half, scoring two consecutive goals within just under five minutes of each other at the 48th and 52nd minute. EC Bahia tried to seize opportunities with their 10 corner kicks but failed to convert any into goals.

Defensively speaking, Fluminense seemed to hold a slightly tighter line evidenced by committing fewer fouls (4) than Bahia (2). Despite the fact that it earned them a yellow card in the second half, this more robust defensive strategy seemed to pay off, further highlighted by Bahia’s failure to score in the second half. Fluminense's tactical discipline led them to only one instance of being offside compared to none from Bahia.

However, Fluminense also showed its fair share of aggression. They had 9 corner kicks, which evidences a proactive attacking mindset. Although corner kicks can be a gamble, they are often a result of consistent pressure on the opponent's goal, which seemed to be the strategy of Fluminense.
