Joe Aribo gave the Super Eagles the lead in the 35th minute but Real Madrid’s Casemiro equalised three minute into the second half.
The moment the game ended, quite a number of Nigerians took to social media platforms, especially Twitter, to hail the performance of Super Eagles for playing well against the 5-times world cup winners.

That was a hard-fought draw against five-time world champion, Brazil. 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

Overall, a decent showing from @thenff who didn't give too much respect to @CBF_Futebol, but took the game to them.
AdvertisementI hope Uzoho recovers ASAP; but glad to see that we can have a decent cover for him too.
Gerard has to be scratching his head over Aribo.
Ndidi… WOW! #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

Too many reasons to be excited about this Super Eagles team. Really hope it all works out for us in the future.— Ebuka Obi-Uchendu (@Ebuka) October 13, 2019
Proud of our boys, it looked difficult but they stood tall against the mega stars of Brazil. 1-1 it ends in Singapore. #BRANGA

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

My take on the #BRANGA game
Joe Aribo was brilliant.
Maduka okoye was relatively okay.
Chukwueze was fantastic.
Onuachu should stop wearing the Nigerian jersey.
Good to see Ramon Azeez.
There's nothing special about the Brazilian team.— The Mayor 🇳🇬 (@Mayor_ofph) October 13, 2019
Tammy Abraham And Fikayo Timori wishing they had played for Nigeria than England #BRANGA pic.twitter.com/3Tg7qISfaL

This was a good warm up for the boys. Our play was too defensive & not fantastic. We can’t always bank on moments of individual brilliance.
My only consolation is that the team is young and gradually jelling.
@JoeAriboRSC @AwaziemC @SemiAjayi @chukwueze_8 @victorosimhen9 👍👌💪 https://t.co/XU0J054RCf— #Citizen ✊🏼 Olatunji (@tunjibaruwa) October 13, 2019
