Twente star Wout Weghorst has given reasons for his powerful post-match prayer with Ajax’s striker, Tolu Arokodare, that captivated fans after both teams’ 2-2 draw on Sunday.
Weghorst revealed that he shared a Christian faith and years of friendship with Arokodare, which led them to pray together on the pitch in Enschede.
Recall that Weghorst and Arokodare held hands and prayed together on the pitch after their Dutch Eredivisie clash ended 2-2 in Enschede.
Interestingly, Weghorst and Arokodare were on the score sheet for their respective clubs.
“We know each other well and have often had beautiful conversations about faith,” Weghorst said of Arokodare, as quoted by NOS.
“We are both believers, and we thanked each other. We gave each other a big hug, and then he said, “Shall we pray together for a moment? Then we gave thanks together for a moment.”
