Clearly, Endrick continues to shine with the Brazil jersey. The future Real Madrid player gave the Seleçao victory against Mexico (3-2) on Saturday evening in a gala friendly match before the Copa America. Already a scorer in March against England at Wembley and Spain at Santiago-Bernabeu, the Palmeiras striker now has 3 goals in 5 caps.
Endrick came on in the 61st minute, with Brazil leading 2-0 thanks to two Premier League players, Andreas Pereira (5th) and Gabriel Martinelli (54th). In front of 85,000 spectators at Kyle Field, the stadium of Texas A&M University, Mexico reacted well by responding thanks to Julian Quinones (73rd) and Guillermo Martinez (90th+2).
Decisive Endrick
But it was Endrick who had the last word (90th + 6), placing a beautiful uncrossed header on a cross from Vinicius Jr, his future teammate at Real Madrid. Brazil will play another preparation match against the United States in Orlando before attacking the Copa America 2024. The Seleçao has been placed in Group D along with Costa Rica, Paraguay and Colombia.
