The Super Eagles held the five-time world champions to a stalemate and football enthusiasts have taken to social media to laud the performance
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.
Take a bow, Eagles. Well-done. #BRANGA #SoarSuperEagles pic.twitter.com/2YHgPFiZZf

I like Osimhen’s movement and the industry of Chukwueze. The future of the Super Eagles of Nigeria is bright. They will even get better. #BRANGA

Well-done brave @NGSuperEagles! This draw looks like a win and I believe this is a sign of good things to come for our senior national team. Also, there are lots of lessons to take home against Brazil and that is very important. 👏👏#BRANGA 🦅🦅🦅 pic.twitter.com/d7fvmpjoEf
