Rio Ferdinand Celebrates Brazil’s Draw with Vinicius’ Goal in Morocco Match

Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand erupted in celebration after Vinícius Junior scored the equaliser for Brazil against Morocco in their FIFA World Cup match on Saturday night.

The game, played in New Jersey on June 13, finished in a draw thanks to the Real Madrid winger’s timely goal.

Vinícius received a clever pass from Bruno Guimaraes on the left flank, cut inside, and fired a powerful right‑footed shot that left goalkeeper Yassine Bounou unable to react, sparking Ferdinand’s exuberant reaction.

Brazil had struggled early against a strong Moroccan side, with Ismaël Saïbari giving Morocco the lead in the 21st minute after a well‑timed through ball from Brahim Diaz and a delicate lob over Alisson.

Carlo Ancelotti’s side had appeared average in their World Cup opener until the star player delivered a moment that truly reflected his reputation.

In his X video, Ferdinand shouted, “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.”
