A Brazilian footballer says he got "carried away" after he was injured jumping over advertising boards to celebrate a goal - only to fall down a hole on the other side.

Defender Jacy Maranhao, 29, headed in for Coritiba against Chapecoense in the Brazilian top flight with his side 1-0 up in the 41st minute.

He celebrated by running towards fans, vaulting the hoarding, before disappearing down a tunnel that went to the away team's dressing room. He was able to gingerly clamber out but suffered an ankle injury. To add insult to injury, the goal was disallowed by VAR in a game Coritiba won 2-1.

He was substituted shortly after half-time due to the injury. "I twisted my foot there. It's a bit sore, but I'm fine," said Jacy.

"Centre-backs hardly ever score goals. So when you do score ... I just got carried away."

It isn't the first time such an incident has happened at the Couto Pereira Stadium in Curitiba. Back in 2014, Cameroon striker Joel jumped over the barriers and fell down the passageway in Coritiba's 3-1 win against Sao Paulo. Jacy is not the first player to fall down a hole celebrating a goal at the Couto Pereira stadium.
