Gareth Southgate leads sporting world’s messages of support to Princess of Wales

England suffered their first defeat since the Qatar World Cup as a late winner from 17-year-old forward Endrick earned Brazil a deserved 1-0 friendly win at Wembley.

Gareth Southgate’s side were hoping to push on as they continue their preparations for Euro 2024 this summer - but with captain Harry Kane injured and Jude Bellingham frustrated, the Three Lions lacked a creative spark.

Brazil went closest in the first half, hitting the post through Lucas Paqueta, and took the lead in the 80th minute as substitute Endrick tapped in after Vinicius Jr’s shot was saved by Jordan Pickford.

Paqueta was fortunate not to receive a second yellow card after one of several fouls on Bellingham - while another concern for Southgate would have been Kyle Walker joining his lengthy injury list ahead of Tuesday’s match against Belgium.

England 0-0 Brazil

44 mins: Rice takes the corner too, and it floats all the way through but goes out for another corner. Brazil clear and Gallagher is wasteful as his pass goes straight out of play.

England 0-0 Brazil

43 mins: Bellingham is fouled again, and it looks like England will try the lofted ball in here.

Rice delivers it, but Raphinha clears for a corner.

England 0-0 Brazil

41 mins: A chance out of nowhere as Raphinha wins the long ball against Chilwell. Maguire is there to clear up but he scuffs the pass and Raphinha wins it. The Barcelona man is suddenly clean through, but he scuffs his shot wide.

England 0-0 Brazil

40 mins: Gordon drives at the Brazil defence from the right, cuts outside onto his right foot and tries another curling effort. Bento does well to get down to his right, and saves well.

England 0-0 Brazil

39 mins: England have a throw near the Brazil corner flag, and the ball ends up with Rice. He plays a diagonal to Foden, who is fouled once again. He looks understandably irritated.

Shortly after, Bellingham is taken down by Paqueta again, but the West Ham man avoids a second booking. Would have been contentious in a competitive game.

England 0-0 Brazil

36 mins: Foden is the latest to have a chance but he hits it right at Bento. That was England’s first shot on target.

This certainly doesn’t feel like a friendly, with plenty of chances and some hefty challenges being made by both sides.

England 0-0 Brazil

34 mins: OFF THE WOODWORK!

Paqueta, was booked for a foul just after that chance, now hits the post!

The ball breaks to Rodrygo in the box but his touch overruns a little and Konsa makes the tackle. The ball rolls to Paqueta and he puts it the other side of the diving Pickford, but it hits the post! Should have scored.

England 0-0 Brazil

33 mins: Almost some quintessentially Brazilian play as Rodrygo plays it backwards to Paqueta and makes the run in behin d the defence. Paqueta clips a wonderful ball over the top and finds Rodrygo, but he can’t connect with the cross.

Chris Wilson23 March 2024 19:36

England 0-0 Brazil

31 mins: Another decent chance for England as Gordon wins it on the wing. He lays it off to Watkins and the Villa man surges into the box, but his cutback is cleared.

Chris Wilson23 March 2024 19:34

England 0-0 Brazil

30 mins: Bellingham is the latest to win a free-kick in a dangerous position.

The ball in is cleared easily, but Gordon sweeps up the attempted counter.
