Jacy Maranhao, a defender for Coritiba, suffered an ankle injury after falling into a tunnel during a goal celebration in a match against Chapecoense. His goal, scored in the 41st minute, was later disallowed by VAR, but Coritiba won the game 2-1. Jacy expressed that he got 'carried away' while celebrating, a sentiment echoed by past incidents at the same stadium.
This is not the first time a player has fallen in this manner at the Couto Pereira Stadium, highlighting a recurring issue with the stadium's layout during celebrations.
Fans should keep an eye on Coritiba's injury management for Jacy Maranhao, as his absence could impact their defensive strategy. Additionally, the club may need to address safety concerns at Couto Pereira Stadium to prevent future incidents during celebrations.
