A Brazilian footballer plummeted down a tunnel while celebrating a goal — and, to add insult to an ankle injury, the goal was disallowed.
Coritiba player Jacy Maranhão thought he had scored to put his side up 2-0 against Chapecoense in southern Brazil on Saturday.
The 29-year-old jumped over the advertising hoardings, only to fall into a tunnel to the away dressing rooms which had been uncovered ahead of half-time.
Jacy was able to play on for the rest of the half but came off early in the second when it was clear that the fall had taken its toll.
The match took place in Paraná state as part of Brazil's domestic league competition.
It was not the first time a player has fallen down the tunnel at the Couto Pereira stadium.
Back in 2014, Coritiba striker Joel fell down the open tunnel as he celebrated one of his two goals in a match against Sao Paulo.
The morning's headlines in 90 seconds, including St John braces for another hectic day, and a Brazilian footballers goal celebration goes bad. (Source: 1News)
