The former Argentine international scored for his own Kings League team, KuniSports, in their penalty shootout loss to Porcinos FC before heading for the corner flag and mimicking Messi's hands-in-ears pose.
Aguero, 34, took a touch off his feet after receiving a pass on his chest and fired a left-footed shot into the bottom corner with a finish that fans of Manchester City will be familiar with. After receiving the all-clear from Barcelona SC in Ecuador, it was made public that Aguero would be making a one-time return to football this month.
The forward then rushed to the halfway line to celebrate with his teammates before taking advantage of the opportunity to celebrate with a close friend, which sent social media into a state of chaos as fans appeared to get up to speed in the Kings League.
He sped off to the corner and stood right in front of the Porcinos FC box with his hands in front of his ears.
Messi notably aimed his celebration at manager Louis van Gaal during the World Cup victory over Holland at the Lusail Stadium.
The act could have been in response to Van Gaal's poor management of Argentine legend Juan Riquelme at Barcelona, where he was frequently benched and played out of position. Riquelme was a legend in Argentina.
Riquelme was known to cuddle his ears with his hands after scoring, which may have inspired the pose.
