Couto Pereira witnessed a hilarious episode this Saturday (8) involving center-back Jacy during the clash between Coritiba and Chapecoense.
The home team captain found the net from a set piece and, during the celebration, jumped over one of the advertising boards by the side of the pitch.
The problem is that right where he decided to do it, there is one of the stairways leading onto the field.
When he landed on the other side of the advertising board, Jacy went straight into the tunnel, causing concern among his teammates.
To make matters worse, the goal was later disallowed for offside.
See below how it happened:
Jacy was treated by Coritiba’s medical staff, stayed in the game, but had to be substituted early in the second half.
According to Cazé TV, he came off because of the fall during the celebration.
The defender was seen on the bench with ice on his ankle.
It’s not the first time!
Most incredibly, it’s not the first time this has happened to a Coritiba player at Couto Pereira.
In the 2014 Brasileirão, Cameroonian forward Joel was also a “victim” of the stadium tunnel.
He scored one of the goals in Coxa’s win over São Paulo and got hurt in the same spot after jumping over the advertising board.
