Nigeria vs Brazil: ‘Take a bow’ – Twitter praises Super Eagles after Brazil draw

African football supporters have praised Nigeria’s 1-1 draw against Brazil in an international friendly in Singapore on Sunday.

Joe Aribo put the Super Eagles in front in the 35th minute with a fine finish from close range before Casemiro’s second-half strike saved the South Americans from a shock defeat.

The draw is the best result the West Africans have secured against the five-time world champions, after losing 3-0 in their last encounter in 2003.

On the back of the impressive showing, football fans have taken to social media to heap praise on Gernot Rohr’s men.

Big defensive shift from the Eagles.

Well worked goal.
