Endrick, a teenage phenom, made football history with a spectacular display of skill, leading Brazil to victory over England in an exciting match at Wembley Stadium. Endrick was brought off the bench halfway through the second half, and with the game hanging in the balance, he skillfully capitalized on the opportunity to score the game-winning goal in the 80th minute. This crucial goal not only became his first on the international scene but also ensured Brazil’s victory with a 1-0 score, putting him in great company with the Seleção’s history.
Endrick made football history at Wembley, the ‘home of football,’ when he became the youngest male player to score an international goal at the age of just 17 years and 246 days. Not only was this a fantastic accomplishment, but it also made him the youngest goal scorer for Brazil since the illustrious Ronaldo Nazario in 1994.
Ronaldo, also known by his loving moniker O Fenômeno, is still regarded as a legendary figure in soccer owing to his two World Cup victories with Brazil and his lasting impact on the game. Endrick’s style of play has been compared to the great Ronaldo, which has given his budding career an interesting new dimension.
