A Maidstone fan fell from the upper tier of the stand celebrating his side’s opening goal in their FA Cup win at Ipswich.
The moment was captured by a home spectator filming from behind the goal at Portman Road.
The Stones supporter was seen tumbling from the Cobbold Stand after Lamar Reynolds put Maidstone 1-0 up.
It was previously suggested the incident happened after Sam Corne’s winning goal in the second half.
Ipswich are investigating.
In a statement, they said: “The club is aware of an incident involving a Maidstone United supporter in the Cobbold Stand at Portman Road during today’s Emirates FA Cup fourth-round fixture.
“The club is investigating the issue thoroughly.”
Maidstone were cheered on by almost 4,500 fans in Suffolk as George Elokobi’s men pulled off one of the biggest upsets in FA Cup history against a team 98 places above them, winning 2-1.
