England 0 Brazil 1: Three Lions tamed by 17-year-old Endrick as Southgate’s side flop in controversial new kit
BRAZILIAN teenager Endrick lit up Wembley on the day fellow teenager Kobbie Mainoo made his England debut.
The 17-year-old – fresh off the bench – tapped into an empty net after Jordan Pickford saved Vinicius Junior’s initial shot.
England players were adamant it should have been chalked off for offside.
But replays proved Vinicius was level when the original through ball was played by Andreas Pereira.
Kyle Walker raced back to deny Vinicius Junior breaking the deadlock on 12 minutes.
But as he went to clear his lines, he accidentally booted the ball into the back of Harry Maguire before limping off injured.
Maguire had another lucky escape on the stroke of half-time when his miskicked backpass was picked up by Raphinha – but the Barcelona forward dragged wide.
Lucas Paqueta was at the thick of the action in the first half – committing five fouls and crashing a rasping shot against the post.
Kobbie Mainoo came on for Conor Gallagher to make his Three Lions debut at the same time as Marcus Rashford replaced another debutant Anthony Gordon.
