Overview
- The Coritiba captain, Jacy, fell into an opening that leads to the players’ tunnel after jumping over an advertising board while celebrating a goal on Saturday.
- Video and eyewitness reports show security and medical staff rushing to help and the sequence was widely shared on social media and sports sites.
- VAR later disallowed the goal for offside, erasing the score that triggered the celebration.
- Jacy was treated on the pitch, stayed briefly in the game, was substituted early in the second half, and was later seen on the bench with ice on his ankle.
- The episode recalled a 2014 incident when Joel fell into the same hidden stairway, a repeat that focuses attention on the advertising-board setup that conceals steps and the need for stadium changes to protect players.
