The highly anticipated clash played at Kyle Field in Texas saw Endrick emerge as the hero with a clutch goal in the game’s dying seconds. With the score level at 2-2 deep into stoppage time, Endrick displayed remarkable composure to snatch the win for the Selecao.
In the match, Gabriel Martinelli had put Brazil ahead in the 54th minute.
However, Mexico fought back impressively, quickly equalizing the score with two goals. Andreas Pereira had opened the scoring for Brazil in the 5th minute.
Endrick’s last-minute heroics came after a pinpoint cross from his future Real Madrid teammate Vinicius Jr. The young striker cleverly manoeuvred himself free in the box and flicked the ball past the Mexico goalkeeper to seal a dramatic victory for Brazil.
This win extends Brazil’s unbeaten run and sees Endrick etch his name in Brazilian football history.
The youngster becomes the youngest player to score a winning goal for the national team in an official match.
The dramatic nature of the goal and his composure under pressure further solidify his reputation as a future superstar.
