Former Manchester United defender and football pundit Rio Ferdinand celebrated passionately after VinÃcius Júnior scored Brazil's equaliser in their FIFA World Cup encounter with Morocco on Saturday night.
The Group C match in New Jersey ended 1-1, with Vinicius rescuing a point for Brazil after Morocco had taken an early lead.
The Real Madrid star was picked out by a clever pass from Bruno Guimarães before cutting inside and firing a powerful right-footed strike past Moroccan goalkeeper Yassine Bounou.
Brazil had struggled to impose themselves against a well-organised Moroccan side, who went ahead in the 21st minute through Ismael Saibari. The midfielder calmly lifted the ball over goalkeeper Alisson Becker after being released by a perfectly weighted pass from Brahim DÃaz.
Despite being second-best for much of the game, Brazil found inspiration through Vinicius, whose moment of brilliance underlined his status as one of world football's leading talents.
Reacting to the goal in a video posted on social media, Ferdinand could barely contain his excitement.
"Oh! Oh! Vinicius! Vinicius! Come on, Vini! Come on, Vini! That's payback for the Ballon d'Or," Ferdinand exclaimed.
He added: "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 and then, all of a sudden, bang! That's world-class business right there."
