Kololli was so happy to score from the penalty spot just after the hour mark that he decided to run towards a small pocket of the crowd in which the away support were situated.
Unfortunately, the 26-year-old Kosovo international was not overly familiar with the layout of his opponents’ stadium.
After the midfielder casually jumped past the billboards, he proceeded to leap enthusiastically over a wall, but the subsequent descent on the other side was steeper than he had anticipated.
Consequently, team-mates rushed over to check on the match-winner’s condition after he vanished out of shot.
Thankfully, Kololli was not seriously hurt as a result of the incident, and ultimately completed 90 minutes this evening.
