In the friendly match between England and Brazil, the home team, England, was rated higher despite the absence of some key players in attack. The Wembley home field advantage makes England more confident that they will find their first victory against Brazil in 11 years.
However, what the England team showed did not bring the expected results. As for the Brazilian team, they also lacked a lot of stars but played relatively well and unexpectedly won thanks to a young player coming from the bench.
In the 71st minute, Endrick came on as a substitute and 9 minutes later, he made history. From Vinicius’s shot, Endrick appeared in the right place to cushion the ball accurately, scoring the only goal of the match, bringing the final 1-0 victory to Brazil.
Since the legendary Ronaldo de Lima (scored in 1994), Endrick became the youngest player to score for Brazil at the age of 17 years and 246 days. With this milestone, Endrick also created an unprecedented milestone as the youngest player to ever score at Wembley, both at the club level and the national team.
Endrick himself could not hide his excitement with his goal. Sharing after the match, this prodigy said: “Playing on the field where the late legend Bobby Charlton (England) used to play, scoring in the stadium where he once scored is a great memory for me. That is a great memory for me. is a very special feeling.
I was very happy with this goal because my relatives were all present in the stands and witnessed that wonderful kite. My record has brought a lot of meaning. I am very happy to bring victory to the home team and hope to contribute more to help the Brazilian team bring satisfaction to the fans.”
