Everaldo stum

Rio De Janeiro: Everaldo Stum scored a first-half winner as Bahia eased their relegation fears with a 1-0 home victory over Fluminense in Brazil's Serie A championship.

Everaldo broke the deadlock just before halftime by heading into the far corner after Camilo Candido's cross to the edge of the six-yard box, reports Xinhua.

The visitors controlled most of the possession and had 17 shots on goal but were unable to find a way past Bahia goalkeeper Marcos Monteiro.
