Arokodare, Weghorst prayer video goes viral after Ajax, FC Twente 2-2 draw

Tolu Arokodare and Wout Weghorst shared a prayer together after Ajax vs Twente Eredivisie clash

A touching video of Super Eagles striker Tolu Arokodare and FC Twente’s Wout Weghorst sharing a prayer after Ajax’s 2-2 draw in the Eredivisie has gone viral.

The rare moment of two opposing players praying together on the pitch has gained attention on the internet, showing how football can bring people together.

The two strikers held hands and prayed for nearly three minutes after the final whistle on Sunday, November 8.

Interestingly, the two strikers were both on target for their respective clubs.

Arokodare gave Ajax the lead in the third minute, rising above the Twente defence to head home Oscar Gloukh’s cross.

Substitute Rayane Bounida doubled the lead in the 66th minute with a shot from outside the box. But Twente pulled one back two minutes later through an own goal by Dies Janse, and Weghorst equalised from the penalty spot in stoppage time.

The result denied Míchel Sánchez’s side the chance to go top of the Eredivisie for the first time since May 2025.

Arokodare has been in impressive form since joining Ajax on loan from Wolves in the summer, which has boosted his case for a permanent move at the end of the season.
