Vinicius Jr placed the ball on the far post, which was picked up by Bruno Guimaraes, who looped a cross to Lucas Paqueta but his first-time shot went over the post. In the 73rd minute, Rapinha gave an inside pass to Endrick, who tried a left foot shot but English defender Lewis Dunk blocked the shot.

However, in the 80th minute, Vinicius used his skills to make a pass through John Stones and attempted a close ranger shot but Pickford made a save but could not grip the ball, Endrick, who was inside the box, did not lose the opportunity and tapped in inside the box. The Real Madrid-bound striker put Brazil 1-0 up in the game.

In the dying minutes of the game, Endrick came close to scoring his brace but Pickford denied him. After the final minutes, the Selecaos had the last laugh as they defeated the hosts by 1-0 in the friendly encounter. (ANI)
