'Osimhen Looks A Brilliant Player, We've Got A No. 9' - Eagles Fans React To 1-1 Draw Vs Brazil

Gernot Rohr's men opened the scoring in the 34th minute via Joe Aribo's close-range shot that went straight into Ederson's net after brilliant footwork from the Rangers star.

However, the South Aemericans equalized in the 48th minute from Casemiro's shot after the ball came-off the crossbar.

Despite the outcome of the result, Nigerians were happy with the team's overall performance and they took to social media to praise the players.

Below are some of their comments on Twitter:

@_omoissy: "#BRANGA Dear Joe Aribo, My God will immensely bless you and your football career. Na baller you be! Signed, Proud Nigerians."

@fidelitybankplc: "Chukwueze seems to be giving the Brazilian defense a tough time on right flank. #FidelityFootballUpdate"

@e_akara: "Chukwueze is such a threat in position that Brazil are using two players to mark him out. #BRANGA"

@IbkSports: "Aribo with a crazy footwork, and Superb finish!! Super eagles having Aribo, Chukwueze , Osimhen, Denis, Etebo , Ndidi, Iwobi is unbelievable I can't believe this is the team Abraham and Tomori denied over England!! Rohr should get the highest praise for this stability #BRANGA"

@OlayinkaSuraj:  "I've got to say it, Francis Uzoho has really improved as a goal keeper."

@daddyfrany: "No Uzoho slander will be accepted today He did well today and made wonderful saves #BRANGA"

@ChumaNnoli: "Full Time: Brazil 1-1 Nigeria Positives - The scoreline Aribo scoring again Exciting play by Osimhen and Chukwueze Negatives - We were second best for most of the game Uzoho 's injury Rohr refusing to make substitutions earlier knowing this is a friendly game. #BRANGA"

@jeremy_liit: "Osimhen , Aribo, Chukwueze and Uzoho were very good but Awaziem is my MOTM. Played RB and tucked in as the 3rd CB at times. Unreal performance #BRANGA"

@OlayinkaSuraj: "Victor Osimhen is so good, no hype"

@ghabo_: "I will take Osimhen over Rashford"

@Nigerianscamsss: "Also Victor Osimhen , proper striker. Tammy Abraham wasn't needed"

@osaemiahonsi: "Osimhen fathering Thiago Silva and Marquinhos whilst Tammy is hustling for three minutes against Czech Republic?"

@tolumoteni: "Joe Aribo Is a revelation. Hopefully he gets a big move soon. Good game, overall."
