Brazilian player falls down tunnel during goal celebration
Brazilian player Jacy says he got "carried away" after he ended up falling down a hold in his goal celebration in Coritib's 2-1 win against Chapecoense.
Brazilian footballer Jacy Maranhao suffered an ankle injury after scoring a goal and attempting a celebratory dive over advertising boards, falling into a tunnel that led to the away team's dressing room. The injury occurred during Coritiba's 2-1 victory over Chapecoense in the Brazilian top flight, with Maranhao's side leading 1-0 in the 41st minute.
Maranhao, 29, was substituted shortly after halftime due to the ankle injury. He described the incident as a result of his elation, stating, "I twisted my foot there. It's a bit sore, but I'm fine." This isn't the first time such an incident has taken place at the Couto Pereira Stadium in Curitiba; in 2014, Cameroon striker Joel also jumped over the barriers and fell into the tunnel during Coritiba's 3-1 win against Sao Paulo.
