After a 0-0 draw in Salvador, Bahia lost 2-0 to América de Cali on Tuesday (22), in Colombia, in the second leg of the Conmebol South American 2025 playoff quarterfinals.
Still in the first half, the Tricolor defense made a huge blunder, and Murillo took a long shot to open the scoring for the Colombians without a goalkeeper.
If in the initial stage, Bahia still managed to finish, especially at the beginning of the match, the second half was just suffocating.
América de Cali had at least three good chances to extend their lead, but failed to finish.
In the final minutes, after a cross into the area, Garces headed in to extend and seal Bahia's elimination.
With the result, Bahia is eliminated from the South American Championship.
América de Cali, on the other hand, will face Fluminense in the quarterfinals, on August 13 (Colombia) and August 20 (Maracanã).
The Tricolor de Aço returns to the field next Sunday (27), when they host Juventude at Arena Fonte Nova, for the 17th round of the 2025 Brazilian Championship.
