Brazilian Player Falls Down Stairs Celebrating Goal
Coritiba captain Jacy scored a header against Chapecoense this Sunday during the 22nd matchday of the Brazilian championship. In his celebration, the defender leaped over the advertising board, only to disappear. He landed in the tunnel leading to the visiting team's locker room. The 29-year-old player reappeared shortly after and received medical attention on the sidelines. He managed to return to the field for the remainder of the first half but had to be substituted two minutes into the second half due to his injury.
Adding to the unfortunate events, Jacy's goal was disallowed due to an offside position, identified by VAR. This isn't the first time such an incident has occurred at Coritiba. In 2014, striker Joel had a similar experience, though his goal was validated.
Coritiba, already leading 1-0 before this peculiar fall, secured a 2-1 victory against Chapecoense. After 22 matches, Jacy and his teammates are in 10th place in the league standings. Jacy has played in 19 league matches this season, scoring one goal.
