Watch: Brazilian player falls into tunnel after leap celebrating goal that didn't count
Jacy appeared to recover from the shocking celebration that saw him jump over the advertising boards but falling into the tunnel hole.
Jacy, a center back for Brazilian club Coritiba, scored a goal during a match but faced an unexpected twist. The striker, intending to celebrate by lifting his shirt to reveal a baby, leapt over advertising boards to join the fans. However, Jacy entered into a tunnel leading to the locker rooms beneath the field, out of sight from the crowd.
Initial reactions ranged from shock to disappointment among supporters and teammates. After a brief moment of confusion, Jacy managed to stumble out of the tunnel and continued his celebratory display, unaware his goal had been disallowed. Coritiba scored a 2-1 victory, securing a 10th-place position in the Brazilian Serie A table, while Chapecoense remained at the bottom of the league.
