By defeating Fluminense 1 x 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 x 3.
Bahia's triumph against the Rio team was only the SECOND in the history of the squad at this stage of the competition.
A última vitória do Bahia nas quartas de finais da Copa do Brasil havia sido em 2002 (Bahia 4×3 Atlético Mineiro).
Além disso, a vitória de hoje foi apenas o 2º triunfo da história do clube nas quartas de finais da competição.

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 Rio team needs to win by two goals. In case of a one-goal victory, the spot will be decided on penalties.
