Brazilian player falls into tunnel after goal celebration

Footage released by the stadium’s media team captured Brazilian forward Jacy Maranhão stumbling into the players’ tunnel after leaping over a set of advertising boards during a recent match. The incident occurred in the closing minutes of the game, when Maranhão, having celebrated a late equaliser, attempted to bypass the promotional structures that line the perimeter of the pitch. The camera angle showed him lose balance and tumble onto the concrete surface of the tunnel, prompting an immediate pause in play as medical staff and security personnel rushed to his aid.

Club officials confirmed that Maranhão sustained only minor bruising and was able to return to the dressing room for assessment, with no further injuries reported. The league’s disciplinary committee has been notified, and an investigation into the safety of the advertising installations is underway to determine whether additional measures are required to prevent similar incidents. The match resumed after a brief interruption, and the episode has sparked a broader discussion among clubs about player safety in high‑traffic areas of stadiums.
