Footballer Gets Injured After Falling Into Uncovered Hole While Jumping over Barricade to Celebrate Disallowed Goal in Brazilian Serie A Game
The defender was injured after an offside goal celebration sent him into an uncovered tunnel, and Coritiba still beat Chapecoense 2-1.
- On Saturday, Coritiba defender Jacy Maranhão leaped over the pitch perimeter at Couto Pereira Stadium to celebrate a goal against Chapecoense, accidentally falling into an open tunnel entrance.
- Echoing a 2014 mishap involving Cameroonian striker Joel Tagueu at the same location, Brazilian journalist Leonardo Mendes Jr. noted the security guard attempting to stop both players was "THE SAME ONE!".
- Video Assistant Referee officials ruled the goal offside soon after the incident. The 29-year-old was later substituted due to foot pain, though Coritiba secured a 2-1 victory in the 2026 Brasileirao.
- After the match, Jacy explained he had gotten "carried away" wanting to celebrate with his pregnant wife, forgetting the tunnel entrance was open shortly before halftime.
- Usually kept closed during play, the tunnel entrance only opens at the end of each half. Because the celebration occurred shortly before halftime, the access area had already been opened, creating the hazard.
