Overview

• Supporters spray-painted the Gávea headquarters with messages critical of president Luiz Eduardo Baptista (“Bap omisso”) and the forward (“$ Lino peladeiro”), according to local reports.
• The 1–0 loss in Salvador left Palmeiras at the top of the Campeonato Brasileiro standings.
• Samuel Lino failed to finish a clear chance against goalkeeper Ronaldo with the match at 0–0, and Bahia scored minutes later.
• Since joining in late July, Lino has 16 appearances with 2 goals and 4 assists, with five of those contributions in the 8–0 win over Vitória and an eight-game stretch without a goal involvement.
• Flamengo paid a club-record €22 million to sign Lino from Atlético de Madrid, and fan reaction has turned mixed, including boos during his substitution against Cruzeiro at the Maracanã.
