Shock for the Brazilian second division club EC Bahia: An explosive device detonated in the team bus in which the team was.
Several players of the Brazilian club EC Bahia were injured in a bomb explosion in the team bus. The club officially announced this. The team was on their way to a Copa do Nordeste match against FC Sampaio Correa at the Arena Fonte Nova in Salvador when the attack took place.
Among other things, Bahia wrote on Twitter: “The most worrying case is that of goalkeeper Danilo Fernandes, who was hit in the face by shrapnel and has already been taken to a hospital.” The club also published pictures of the damaged bus and bloodied headrests.
Attack on Bahia team bus: Fernandes speaks up
Other players such as left-back Matheus Bahia and striker Marcelo Cirino also sustained injuries. The driver of a car driving next to the bus was also injured. This reported Globoesporte.
Danilo Fernandes wrote in his story on Instagram: “I’m fine. I want to thank you for all the messages of love and support I’ve received. Thank you. I just have to thank God that I’m alive.”
The background to the attack is still unclear. The club’s own fans, which were relegated to the second division in the previous season, are considered suspicious.
Despite the incident, Bahia went up against Sampaio Correa and won 2-0.
