With a goal in stoppage time, Atlético-GO defeated Bahia by 2-1, this Monday night (29) at the Antonio Accioly stadium, and managed to open up distance to the relegation zone of the Brazilian Championship.

With the triumph in the match valid for the 35th round of the competition, Dragão reached 44 points, in 13th position. The Tricolor from Bahia was in a difficult situation after the setback, in 16th position with 40 points, very close to entering the Z4.

After a goalless first half, Atlético-GO opened the scoring in the 13th minute of the final stage with Marlon Freitas in a penalty kick. Bahia even tied in the 25th minute with Rodallega. However, the Dragon got the final triumph thanks to a goal by Janderson in the 47th minute.

Atlético-GO returns to the field on Friday (3), against Chapecoense at Arena Condá. A day before, Bahia receives the leader Atlético-MG.
