Captain’s Celebration Takes Unexpected Turn During Brazilian Match
During a recent football match in Brazil, an unexpected incident unfolded after Coritiba captain Jacy scored, leading to both concern and disbelief. In the 42nd minute, Jacy’s goal against Chapecoense, which ended in a 2-1 victory for Coritiba, took a sudden turn when he leaped over the barrier in celebration and inadvertently fell into a players’ tunnel just behind it.
The incident drew immediate attention, prompting security staff to rush to Jacy’s aid. After receiving treatment from Coritiba’s medical team, he initially returned to the field but was later substituted at the start of the second half due to his fall.
Reports from ‘Cazé TV’ indicate that Jacy’s substitution was a direct result of his mishap. He was later seen sitting on the bench with ice on his ankle. In a post-match interview, he reassured fans, saying, “I’m fine.” Reflecting on the unusual celebration, he added, “We defenders don’t score very often, but when it does happen, I guess I just got a little carried away.”
To compound Jacy’s disappointment, the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) intervened following the explosive celebration, disallowing his goal for offside. This turn of events made it a particularly challenging day for the captain.
Rayan Ghrieb surely must have been reminded of his own failed celebration when he saw this scene. During an away match at Berlin’s Olympiastadion, the then-Magdeburg player jumped over the barrier and then fell into a 2.70-meter-deep trench. Fortunately, he was unhurt.
A similar scene has now also occurred in Brazil. During the match between Coritiba and Chapecoense (2-1), Coritiba captain Jacy scored in the 42nd minute. He grabbed the ball, jumped over the barrier, and suddenly disappeared. Right behind the barrier was the entrance to the players’ tunnel.
Security staff immediately rushed to help. He was then treated by Coritiba’s medical staff and initially continued playing, but had to be substituted at the start of the second half.

According to a report by ‘Cazé TV,’ the fall was the reason for the substitution. The center-back was later seen on the bench icing his ankle. “I’m fine,” he said in an interview with the TV station after the final whistle. “We defenders don’t score very often, but when it does happen, I guess I just got a little carried away.”
To make matters worse, VAR intervened after the spectacular celebration and disallowed the goal for offside. A truly bitter day at the office for Jacy.
