The defender Jacy went "from heaven to hell" in Coritiba's historic 2-0 victory over Corinthians this Wednesday (11), in the fifth round of the Brasileirão 2026.

Still at the end of the first half, Jacy scored the goal that opened the scoring for Coxa at Neo Química Arena.

In the celebration, the defender was moved after hitting the opponent's net.

At halftime, Jacy explained that the emotion was due to the memory of his mother, who passed away in October 2025, at the age of 51, a victim of cancer.

However, what was supposed to be a special night turned into a nightmare for the defender.

After the break, at 16 minutes, Jacy cleared a cross from the right and then blocked Carrillo's strong shot with his head.

The Coritiba defender fell immediately, with his arms outstretched, causing concern for everyone.
