By defeating Fluminense 1-0 at Arena Fonte Nova this Thursday (28), Bahia broke a drought of over two decades in the Copa do Brasil.
This is because the Tricolor de Aço hadn't won a quarter-final match in the national tournament for 22 years, since they beat Atlético-MG 4-3.
Bahia's victory against the Cariocas was only the SECOND in the history of the Esquadrão at this stage of the competition.
Besides breaking this long drought, Thursday's result allows Bahia to draw with Fluminense at Maracanã on September 10 to advance to the semi-finals.
The Cariocas need to win by two goals. If they win by one goal, the spot will be decided on penalties.
