Making history on Saturday, Endrick scored the game-winning goal in Brazil’s victory against England at Wembley.
With the 17-year-old striker sitting on the bench, the squad consisted of seven rookies and rotated throughout the match.
Brazil missed many opportunities to grab the lead early on. The game was remained scoreless at the half.
Since there was no change in the score at the end of the second half, Endrick was substituted for Rodrygo in the visiting front line. His third senior international match was this one.
The young player headed to Real Madrid scored shortly after his presentation, turning in a rebound after Jordan Pickford had stopped Vinicius Jr.’s first attempt.
With his goal, Endrick became the youngest player in Wembley history and the fourth-youngest in Brazil’s history overall, behind only Pele and Ronaldo. His age was 17 years, 246 days.
England’s remarkable home run at the national stadium came to an end when they were unable to tie the match.
The last time England lost at Wembley was against Denmark in October 2020, which was before to their match against Brazil. At that point, the player who scored on Saturday was only 14 years old.
Southgate added that England was just unfortunate to lose, despite the fact that “there were lots of very good performances in a top-level game.” “We controlled a significant portion of it and had as many shots on goal.” The game is won by that painful moment at the finish.
