Goal celebrations are certainly part of the fun in a football match.
But this one is a bit bewildering, isn't it?
At a stadium in southern Brazil, defender Jaci, thinking his team has scored their second goal, runs toward the stands in excitement.
And then, poof!
The player vanishes from sight.
Beyond the advertising boards was a passage leading to the away team's locker room.
The area, which is usually covered, happened to be open, and Jaci, failing to notice it in time, fell right through.
Startled teammates and officials immediately rushed over to check on Jaci, who fortunately got back up and continued playing.
Yet, one more absurd thing happened.
The goal that Jaci had celebrated so enthusiastically was ruled offside following a video review, meaning it was not recognized as a score.
Nearly getting seriously injured while trying to celebrate, only to have the cherished goal disallowed—it must have been an unforgettable day for Jaci in more ways than one.
