INTERNATIONAL FRIENDLY: Nigeria, Brazil Settle for a Draw

The Super Eagles of Nigeria and Brazil played out a 1-1 draw in their friendly encounter played this afternoon at the Singapore National Stadium.

Rangers’ Joe Aribo gave Nigeria the lead in the first half as he slotted past Manchester City’s Ederson.

Real Madrid’s Casemiro prodded in from close range to equalise just after half-time.

Despite having 70% possession in Singapore, Brazil were unable to find a winner to remain winless in this international break after drawing 1-1 with Senegal on Thursday.

The low point for Brazil was when Paris St-Germain forward Neymar limped off after 12 minutes.

The 27-year-old walked off holding his left thigh and could be a doubt for the Champions League game against Club Bruges on 22 October.
