On Bahia's side, Éverton Ribeiro also commented on the match, expressing frustration with the result. The former Mengão number 10 recognized the strength of the CRF, but believes that the Esquadrão de Aço could have presented more consistent football on the field, especially in a decisive confrontation.

The player added: “In games like this, where a place is decided, we need to be more persistent, create more chances and finish better.”

After Bahia's elimination in the Copa do Brasil with a 1-0 defeat to Mais Querido, Rogério Ceni achieved his 14th defeat in 14 games against CRF as coach, maintaining a 0% record in clashes with red-black club.

It's a strong team, with quality and a good squad”, said Ceni.

Ceni also commented on the matches in which, in his view, his team played better, but ended up defeated due to details. He cited as an example the first game of this year's Copa do Brasil and the first round match of the Brazilian Championship. "We had clear chances to win, but we lost in the details."

The coach mentioned some matches in which his team had good performances against Mengão, but ended up defeated. “With São Paulo, we finished 26 times compared to 7 at Morumbi, but we lost in the Copa do Brasil”, he recalled. Regarding the current season, he highlighted the Brazilian Cup and the clash for the Brasileirão, when defender David Luiz scored Flamengo's winning goal in the final minutes. "These are coincidences in life. One day we will be able to strengthen ourselves and win this confrontation", he stated optimistically.

Interestingly, the club that defeated Ceni the most as a coach was also responsible for giving him the most important title of his career: the 2020 Brazilian Championship.
