Bahia Edges Past Boston River in Montevideo Thriller
Bahia secured a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Boston River at the Estadio Centenario in Montevideo in the 3rd round of the 2025 CONMEBOL Libertadores. The match, played on March 7th at 00:30, was a low-scoring affair marked by inefficiency in front of goal from both sides. Bahia controlled possession (65%) and created more chances (5 shots to Boston River’s 2), but only managed one shot on target. Boston River had two shots, one on target, and saw a goal disallowed for offside in the 52nd minute. Paraguayan referee Juan Gabriel Benitez officiated the game. Despite Bahia’s territorial dominance and superior chances, the narrow victory highlights a lack of clinical finishing from both teams. The low number of corner kicks (1 each) and relatively few fouls (9 for Boston River, 7 for Bahia) suggest a relatively clean and uneventful match.
