How Endrick’s first Brazil goal helped five-time world champions to a 1-0 win against England at Wembley

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.

  • Pele (16 years and 257 days)
  • Edu (16 years and 306 days)
