Scoring with his penalty kick aside, this was not the greatest series of events for Bahia's Rafael. In the Copa Sao Paulo de Futebol Junior final loss to Flamengo, Rafael was kicked in the neck by two Flamengo players at the same time as he went to head a bouncing ball off a corner. This earned Rafael a penalty, which he converted after a long run up to the ball.
Then, overjoyed by his success, he ran towards the fans -- hurdling the advertising hoarding only to find that there was a staircase on the other side of it. He somehow avoided falling all the way down the stairs and recovered to continue his celebration.
Once the adrenaline subsided, he realized that his fall into the staircase was, in fact, quite painful, so he laid on the ground for a bit and then rode the cart off the pitch...
