Goal Celebration Turns Sour: Footballer Injures Ankle

In a Brazilian Série A match between Coritiba and Chapecoense, an unusual incident occurred. Coritiba's 29-year-old defender Jacy Maranhão fell into a tunnel pit while celebrating his goal by jumping over the barriers. The footballer, who sprained his ankle, managed to climb up the stairs himself and underwent a medical examination by the health team. Due to his injury, Maranhão had to leave the game in the second half and stated that he was overly excited during the goal celebration and did not notice the empty space behind the barrier. The match ended with Coritiba's 2-1 victory, but the unfortunate incident involving Jacy Maranhão drew attention. In his post-match statements, Maranhão mentioned that defenders rarely score goals and he got too caught up in the moment.
