Endrick stats keep coming and they are increasingly impressive. His goal at Wembley makes him the youngest goalscorer for Brazil since Ronaldo in 1994
Endrick is 17 years and 246 days old while his predecessor was 17 years and 228 days old when he scored against Iceland in May 1994.
The only players to score for Brazil at a younger age:
- Pele (16 years and 257 days)
- Edu (16 years and 306 days)
One more friendly left in this international break for both teams, then it is full steam ahead for the summer’s major tournaments once the domestic season is concluded.
Here is how both teams’ schedules look in the summer:
England
