“It’s a wonderful and indescribable feeling. I thank God so much for scoring another goal. God does extraordinary things in my life, and today I was able to score the winning goal. (…) I’m very grateful for the goal, and I dedicate it to my wife (Gabriely) and to my child, who is still in the womb,” the player said excitedly, still on the pitch at Huntington Bank Field in Cleveland.

Wearing the No. 19 shirt, he came on at halftime and, seven minutes into the second half, scored Brazil’s second goal in the win. With that strike, Endrick continues to impress in his return to the national team. In the last call-up, in March, he won a penalty and provided an assist in the 3-1 victory over Croatia. Before this spell, he had not been called up since March 2025, for the matches against Colombia and Argentina in the World Cup qualifiers.

“I’m very happy because when I was injured, I couldn’t come to the national team, and that’s the worst thing for a Brazilian player. I hope, God willing, never to go through that feeling of being left out of the national team again, because this is where I want to be, to show my football and give my life for my nation,” said the Brasília-born player from Taguatinga, recalling the injuries he suffered last year.

After the victory, Brazil now turns its attention to its World Cup opener. Next Saturday (13), the team will face Morocco at 7 p.m. (Brasília time) at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.
