Accolades and praise have been pouring in for Nigeria international and Rangers star, Joe Aribo, who scored Nigeria’s only goal in the friendly clash against Brazil on Sunday, which ended in a 1-1 draw.
Aribo himself wrote on Instagram: “Tough game against a top Brazil side!
“Team put in a shift until the end. Delighted to have got a goal.
“Thank you to all the supporters that came out tonight and also everyone supporting worldwide #SoarSuperEagles.”
Mercury Prize winner, Dave, replied: “🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥.”
England international Hudson-Odoi wrote: “Killing it 🔥🔥.”
Ex-Charlton ace Aribo’s friendly goal – which saw him waltz past Arthur and Marquinos before finishing past Man City’s Ederson – also earned praise from several of his Gers team-mates.
Sheyi Ojo said: “Woah.”
Andy King wrote: “👏👏.”
Wes Foderingham added: “Bread.”
Connor Goldson wrote: “MAD 🕷️ 🍍.”
His former Charlton team-mate Lyle Taylor also chipped in on Twitter.
He said: “The boy has gone from scoring goals in League One to scoring against Brazil.
“Just think about this for a second… WHAT. A. PLAYER. @J_Aribo19 🇳🇬 🔥🙌🏽👏🏽❤️.”
Aribo has bagged four goals already for Rangers since his summer switch, scoring against the likes of St Joseph’s and FC Midtjylland.
Brazil’s starting XI for today’s 1-1 draw also featured the likes of City ace Gabriel Jesus, PSG superstar Neymar and Liverpool hero Roberto Firmino.
