Nine minutes after replacing Ramos in the second half, Endrick, who will turn 18 at the end of the season, scored his first goal for Palmeiras. Real Madrid-bound Endrick became the youngest men's player to score an international goal at Wembley after Brazil beat England 1-0 in a friendly on Saturday. Nine minutes after replacing Ramos in the second half, Endrick, who will turn 18 at the end of the season, scored his first goal for Palmeiras. His cameo in the second half suggests that Madrid have acquired another outstanding player for the future.
Endrick, who replaced Rodrygo in the 71st minute, did not keep himself waiting long. After Vinicius Junior was stopped by England custodian Jordan Pickford, he fired into an empty net. Endrick, who had to wait for VAR to confirm the score after an offside check, could not contain his joy as he stormed off in celebration and fell to his knees. According to Statistician Opta, it was his first senior goal for Brazil and at 17 years and 246 days a Wembley international record. Although he had a late opportunity to beat Pickford, he was unable to score another.
"The opportunity I finally had was somewhat influenced by everything at the end. Endrick swore he wouldn't lie." “I was just considering how to score. That was all I could think of. I had to stop thinking about the competition. His one goal eventually proved enough to win the match and end England's 21-match winning streak at the national stadium.
"We are aware of his risk as a player. Three Lions manager Gareth Southgate commented: "He was able to follow the goal. "Our goal defense had to be stronger. It's a really happy time for him. Even though we had as many shots on goal as them, the match ultimately decided this merciless moment. Endrick was only 16 when Madrid signed him in December 2022, but he was already considered one of Brazil's future stars. According to Brazilian media, the transaction was valued at around 60 million euros, or 64 million dollars.
