Sao Paulo fan celebrates goal by having his face smashed into a railing

Celebrating a goal scored by your favorite team is supposed to be a joyous moment. It is not supposed to involve smashing your face into a metal railing. But for one Sao Paulo fan, it sadly involved more railing than joy.

While celebrating one of the two goals Souza scored in a four-minute span to help Sao Paulo to a 4-2 win, the barrier in front of a few fans gave way under the pressure of people pushing forward and one man leaning against it fell face first into a metal railing.

After receiving assistance from medical staff dressed as miners, the man was able to walk away under his own power.

It should be noted that this occurred at the Estadio Nacional Mane Garrincha, which was rebuilt ahead of the World Cup. Thankfully, this faulty construction didn't result in anything worse than it did.
