Defender Jacy went “from heaven to hell” in Coritiba’s match against Corinthians this Wednesday (11th), in the fifth round of the 2026 Brasileirão.
Still at the end of the first half, Jacy scored the goal that opened the scoring for Coxa at the Neo QuÃmica Arena.

During the celebration, the defender was moved after finding the back of the net.
At halftime, Jacy explained that his 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 had everything to be a special night ended up turning into a nightmare for the defender.
After the break, at 16 minutes, Jacy cleared a cross from the right and, in the sequence, blocked a powerful shot from Carrillo with his head.
The Coritiba defender immediately fell to the ground with his arms outstretched, causing concern for everyone.
The medical staff of the Paraná team put a cervical collar on Jacy, who had to leave in an ambulance.
Coritiba is beating Corinthians 2-0, with goals from Jacy and Lucas Ronier.
