For his first selection with Brazil, the future Real Madrid player, Endrick gave the Seleçao victory against England (0-1) at Wembley.
Announced as one of the favorites for the next Euro, England did not impress on their Wembley pitch against Brazil. For the first of coach Dorival Junior, the Seleçao won (0-1) after a goal from Endrick following a shot from Vinicius blocked by Pickford at the end of the match (80th). Starting on the edge of offside, the Real player saw his future teammate free his team. The current Palmeiras striker becomes the youngest Brazilian player to score for the national team since Ronaldo in 1994.
A logical victory and spectacle
If the first act did not produce a single goal, the two teams fought a real battle. First of all physical with commitment as evidenced by Bellingham’s rough tackle on Bruno Guimaraes on the verge of the red card. Then, on lightning counters of which Brazil has the secret. Walker diverts a ball from Vinicius (12th) on his line before Paqueta finds Pickford’s post (35th). For its part, England relied on Rice who saw his attempt rejected by Danilo. Without Harry Kane injured, the English were unable to find the loophole to deceive Bento’s vigilance. Gordon also tried his luck but the clumsiness of Chilwell and Gallagher and the inaccuracies of Maguire did not allow the English to come back to the score. The English selection had not lost since the defeat against the Blues at the 2022 World Cup.
The other friends of the day
Other friendly matches took place this Saturday. Note in particular the draw between Denmark and Switzerland (0-0), and that of Uruguay against a Basque selection (1-1). Tunisia faced Croatia in Cairo. After a goal from Jelassi was refused for offside for the Carthage Eagles, the match finally ended with a penalty shootout. The Croats won after the 7th penalty.
