A Brazilian footballer says he got “carried away” after he was injured jumping over advertising boards to celebrate a goal – only to fall down a hole on the other side.<\/p>\n
Defender Jacy Maranhao, 29, headed in for Coritiba against Chapecoense in the Brazilian top flight with his side 1-0 up in the 41st minute.<\/p>\n
He celebrated by running towards fans, vaulting the hoarding, before disappearing down a tunnel that went to the away team’s dressing room. <\/p>\n
He was able to gingerly clamber out but suffered an ankle injury. <\/p>\n
To add insult to injury, the goal was disallowed by VAR in a game Coritiba won 2-1., external<\/a> He was substituted shortly after half-time due to the injury.<\/p>\n “I twisted my foot there. It’s a bit sore, but I’m fine,” said Jacy., external<\/a> “Centre-backs hardly ever score goals. So when you do score … I just got carried away.”<\/p>\n It isn’t the first time such an incident has happened at the Couto Pereira Stadium in Curitiba.<\/p>\n Back in 2014, Cameroon striker Joel jumped over the barriers and fell down the passageway in Coritiba’s 3-1 win against Sao Paulo.<\/p>\n
