Brazilian Soccer Player Scores First Ever Goal, Celebrates Too Hard, Injures Himself [VIDEO]

Doing a cartwheel followed by a backflip is one way to celebrate your first professional soccer goal. But what this Brazilian soccer player did not bargain for was a sprained knee.

It seems only natural that when you score your first ever professional goal you would make a scene about it.

Internacional striker Maurides landed up injuring his knee after he performed a celebratory backflip for his first ever professional goal. Not only was it his first professional goal, but it was his first appearance for the club. The 19-year-old had a sprained knee to show for the teams 3-1 victory over America Mineiro.
