Real Madrid teenage sensation Endrick made history on Saturday by becoming the youngest male player to score at Wembley in a 1-0 victory over England.

At just 17 years and 246 days old, Endrick set a new record as the youngest male goalscorer at Wembley. He came off the bench and scored the winning goal against England on Saturday.

Vinicius, his soon-to-be Real Madrid teammate, received a high pass over the England defense as he sprinted towards the goal, leaving Harry Maguire behind. He tried to score but shot straight at Jordan Pickford.

The ball then landed at the feet of Endrick, who tapped it into the empty net to secure Brazil’s 1-0 win in the friendly game.

The goal scored against the Three Lions also made the young player, who is set to join Real Madrid, the fourth youngest goalscorer for the Selecao after Pele, Edu, and Ronaldo.

Endrick will be moving to Real Madrid for the 2024–25 season and will sign with them once he turns 18 in July.

Dorival Juniors’ team will play against Spain in their next international friendly at Real Madrid’s home, Santiago Bernabeu, on Tuesday.
