World Cup: Rio Ferdinand goes wild in celebration of Vinicius’ goal for Brazil in Morocco draw

Manchester United icon, Rio Ferdinand, erupted in celebration after Vinicius Junior netted the equalizer for Brazil against Morocco during their FIFA World Cup match on Saturday night.

The match, held in New Jersey on June 13, ended in a draw, thanks to the Real Madrid winger’s timely goal.

Vinicius was set up by Bruno Guimaraes, who delivered a clever pass from the left side.

The winger skillfully cut inside and unleashed a stunning, powerful right-footed shot that left goalkeeper Yassine Bounou helpless, igniting a frenzy of excitement from Rio Ferdinand.

The Selecao had initially struggled against a formidable Moroccan side, with Ismael Saibari putting Morocco ahead in the 21st minute by delicately lobbing Alisson following a perfectly timed through ball from Brahim Diaz.

Carlo Ancelotti’s highly regarded team had looked rather average in their FIFA World Cup opener until their star player delivered a moment that truly reflected his significant reputation.

Rio Ferdinand said, with the Manchester United legend shouting in his X video, “Oh! Oh! Vinícius! Vinícius! Come on, Vini! Come on, Vini! Oi, Vini. Vinícius. That’s payback for the Ballon d’Or.

“Brazil have been rubbish. Brazil have been rubbish. But that’s just what I need. That’s Ancelotti football. They’ve been on the back foot, then all of a sudden, bang! That’s world-class business there. Yeah, yeah.”
