‘The destroyer of the Brazilians’ –Twitter reacts to Aribo’s performance in Nigeria vs Brazil

Football fans have hailed the performance of Joe Aribo in Nigeria’s 1-1 draw against Brazil in Sunday’s international friendly in Singapore.

The Rangers midfielder was afforded his second appearance for the three-time African champions and produced an outstanding showing.

Aribo opened the scoring for the Super Eagles in the 35th minute, beating his marker in the area before firing a close-range shot into the net.

Casemiro’s second-half strike, however, saved the South Americans from blushes as the West Africans claimed their first draw against the five-time world champions.

The effort is the second from the 23-year-old Aribo, after scoring on his Super Eagles debut against Ukraine in September.

The midfielder’s displays against the South Americans have drawn applauds from football enthusiasts on social media.

Joe Aribo was really impressive in the midfield while Chukwueze, Iwobi and Osimhen led the attack well. I just think Tammy Abraham would have been a good back up to Osimhen in this squad. Good match! #BRANGA pic.twitter.com/0IUkRQofz9
