Endrick scored the game-winning goal in Brazil’s win over England at Wembley on Saturday, making history.
The game was played by a rotating team that included seven first-timers, with the 17-year-old striker sitting on the bench.
In the beginning, Brazil had several chances to take the lead but failed. At halftime, the game was still scoreless.
As the second half went on, the score stayed the same, so Endrick was brought on to replace Rodrygo in the guests’ forward line. This was his third senior international game.
Soon after being presented, the young star who is going to Real Madrid scored by converting a rebound after Jordan Pickford saved Vinicius Jr.’s first shot.
Endrick scored, making him the youngest player to do so at Wembley and the fourth-youngest in Brazil’s history, behind only stars like Pele and Ronaldo. He was 17 years and 246 days old.
Ultimately, England were unable to find a way to tie the game, ending their impressive home run at the national stadium.
Before their game against Brazil, England’s last loss at Wembley was to Denmark in October 2020. The player who scored on Saturday was only 14 years old at the time.
Even though England lost, Southgate said they were just unlucky: “There were lots of very good performances in a top-level game.” “We had as many shots on goal and controlled large parts of it.” That cruel moment at the end is what wins the game.
