The only state derby of the round, the BaVi was marked by a scene that probably has never happened in the country.
No, we’re not talking about the many scuffles and shoving on the pitch.
We mean the attempt to RIP the opponent’s shirt to try to stop the goal celebration.
Here’s what happened: at the end of the game, Jean Lucas scored Bahia’s second goal, took off his shirt, and “showed” the jersey to Vitória’s fans, since the derby was played at Barradão.
Then Marinho showed up to take Jean Lucas’s shirt, and defender Cacá tried to tear the tricolor jersey apart, which only didn’t happen because referee Raphael Claus warned the red-and-black defender.
Of course, a full-blown brawl broke out after that.

After the final whistle, Jean Lucas and Marinho gave their versions of what happened.
The string of regrettable incidents continued at Vila Belmiro.
Left-back Reinaldo, formerly of São Paulo and now playing for Mirassol, was spat on by a Santos fan.
And to complete the “combo,” still at Vila Belmiro, referee Edina Alves withdrew the yellow card shown to Wallisson after a VAR review, deciding that Neymar was heading toward Mirassol’s goal, and gave the midfielder a red card instead.
