Luciano scored in Salvador.
It was the first victory for coach Rogério Ceni facing the club for which he made history as a player.
Rafael protagonist
Full of absences, the suspended Zubeldía set up São Paulo with Enzo playing as a winger.
Ceni, on the other hand, bet on more speed on the wings by starting Ademir - leaving Cauly on the bench.
And Bahia was superior in the first half.
It just lacked "combining" with Rafael.
He made two great saves, frustrating Willian José.
Former player's law in the 2nd half, reaction, and celebration of the hosts
A São Paulo player between 2011 and 2012, Willian José struggled to score his first goal in this Brasileirão.

And he finally did it at 7 minutes, after Pulga's cross.
Ceni's substitutions yielded results when Kayky was knocked down by Enzo in the area.
A penalty that Willian José took and then celebrated (27').
São Paulo did not give up.
And also had a penalty in their favor (from Jean Lucas and Lucas Ferreira) after the VAR assistant Daronco.
Which Luciano converted (39'). Another one who had not scored in this BR yet.
SPFC had a higher volume of play in the final minutes.
But did not succeed in seeking a point. For the celebration of Tricolor baiano.
Vibra, Ceni!
He ended the uncomfortable fact of never having defeated São Paulo as a coach.
