Endrick’s First Goal Secures Brazil Victory Over England at Wembley

Brazil brings down England at Wembley thanks to Endrick’s first goal for the selection (1-0). Faced with the Three Lions deprived of Bukayo Saka and Harry Kane, the Seleção, also largely overhauled, showed good things for the first of Dorival Junior on the bench. Content rewarded by the late opening score of the future Real Madrid player (80th) after a missed face-to-face from Vinicius Junior.

A match that is certainly friendly, but which will provide work for the English staff. Dominant in the first 5 minutes thanks to very good pressing, Gareth Southgate’s men then let their opponents take the game for themselves. Too many chances conceded and a few scares in a disorganized defense, like Maguire’s error (42nd). After a too soft back pass from the Mancunian, Raphinha narrowly missed the opener with the tip of his foot.

Seven minutes earlier, it was Bruno Guimaraes, brilliant this evening, who shook Wembley. On a beautiful back pass from Rodrygo 6 meters away, the Brazilian midfielder chose to roll up to finally find the left post.

Starting alongside his former teammate in Lyon, Lucas Paqueta also showed his playing intelligence to thwart the opposing pressure. The West Ham player was even close to an assist on a very nice inspiration towards Vinicius whose ball was saved in front of the line by Walker. The Cityzens paid for this intervention and left with an injury just afterwards, hit in the back of the thigh.

Without their usual captain Harry Kane, England gradually foundered and stopped worrying the Brazilians on set pieces. Until giving in 10 minutes from time. A defense once again taken behind his back with, this time, an inevitable consequence. Vinicius, who had gone on the edge of offside, came up against Pickford before seeing Endrick take over and push the ball into the empty goal. A first achievement for him, becoming, at 17 years and 8 months, the youngest scorer in Brazil since Ronaldo.

Thanks to the future Real Madrid striker, Brazil ends a series of four games without a victory. But because of him, England lost for the first time since the World Cup semi-final. A 17-year-old who shows Gareth Southgate’s staff that there is still a very long way to go before the Euro.
