Real Madrid’s Endrick marks first appearance with new Brazil number with injury-time winner

Real Madrid sensation Endrick was responsible for stealing the headlines once more in the early hours of Sunday.

This came owing to his latest exploits on the international stage.

Endrick, for his part, was forced to make do with a place on the bench from the off, as Brazil ramped up their preparations for the upcoming Copa América in a friendly meeting with Mexico.

Just beyond the hour mark, though, the 17-year-old was introduced to proceedings by boss Dorival.

And, safe to say, that Endrick went on to make his presence very much felt…

After an explosive start to life on the international stage with goals against both England and Brazil, the Real Madrid-bound frontman made it three in three on Sunday.

With a full 96 minutes on the clock, Endrick broke free in the Mexico penalty area.

And, picked out courtesy of a gorgeous bending delivery on the part of soon-to-be Blancos teammate Vinícius Jr, the starlet directed a pinpoint header into the far bottom corner.

This proved the decisive moment in the matchup, as Brazil marched on to a 3-2 triumph.

Endrick’s first outing in the Seleção’s iconic no.9 jersey certainly proved one to remember…
