Fluminense held to 0-0 draw by Bahia, stays fourth in Brazil's Serie A

Fluminense and Bahia played to a 0‑0 stalemate at the Maracanã on 29 July 2026, leaving the hosts on 34 points in fourth place while the visitors moved to fifth with 32 points. Bahia goalkeeper Ronaldo made several decisive saves, including a key intervention against Hulk, and was later praised with a perfect rating in SofaScore. Fluminense defender Thiago Silva suffered a confirmed muscle injury to his right thigh after entering the match as a substitute and was forced off early. The result intensified pressure on Fluminense coach Luis Zubeldía, who has now gone five games without a win. Bahia will enjoy a ten‑day break before its next league match against Vasco on 9 August. Both clubs will look to improve their positions as the season approaches its decisive phase.
