It didn’t take long for him to shake the nets. Arriving on loan from Real Madrid this winter, Endrick, who did not have much playing time in the Spanish capital, made his first start this Sunday in the Coupe de France against Lille.
And while his new team was off to a bad start, in a draw after Ngoy’s equalizer, Endrick scored his first goal on a pass from Corentin Tolisso. Well placed in the area at the far post, the Brazilian phenomenon did not tremble by scoring from the left just before half-time on a blind throw from the Frenchman (42nd).
The 19-year-old striker could have opened his goal tally with Olympique Lyonnais much earlier on a 25m cannonball deflected onto the post by the Lille goalkeeper (5th).
At halftime, Clinton Mata praised his teammate on BeIn Sports: “Endrick is a player with a lot of qualities. We know why we brought him back, it was so that he could showcase his talent here and today he showed it. I think he brings us a lot. »
Lyon then won at the end of a rather pleasant encounter to follow (1-2) thanks to the goal of its Brazilian and a very quick one from Afonso Moreira, who opened the scoring after 45 seconds on a ball from the Lille goalkeeper, Arnaud Bodart (1st). A good start to the year before returning to Brest next week.
