Yet, with each game for the Seleção teenage prodigy Endrick enhances his stock, justifying his billing as the next Brazilian soccer great. He headed home a Vinícius Jr. cross to put Brazil back in front after Guillermo Martínez Ayala had levelled for Mexico in the 92nd minute. Brazil had gone 2-0 up through Andreas Pereira and Gabriel Martinelli, but let the advantage slip as Mexico scored twice late on. “I’m very grateful to God for another opportunity to score for the national team,” Endrick said after the match, per Reuters. Brazil next plays the US in a friendly on Wednesday, before its Copa America campaign starts against Costa Rica on June 24.
