England vs Brazil LIVE: Result and final score after late Endrick goal in Wembley friendly tonight
England 0-1 Brazil:The 17-year-old forward Endrick came off the bench to score the winner at Wembley, as Gareth Southgate’s side suffered their first defeat since December 2022
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.

17 mins: CLOSE! The ball bounces to Gallagher in the ‘D’ and he plays a half-volley over the top to Ollie Watkins. The ball bounces and just as it looks like the Villa man is about to score, the defender comes in with a great sliding challenge and it deflects over the bar for a goal kick.

16 mins: CLOSE! Another chance as Paqueta dispossesses Foden and slips it to Rodrygo. The Real Madrid man manages to squeeze a shit through as he’s falling, but it goes wide of the far post.

15 mins: Walker was down for a bit after that clearance and seemed to be holding his hamstring, but it looks like he’ll be okay to play on.
As soon as he comes back on, Brazil have another chance as Vini Jr dummies in the box and takes it past Walker. He falls under a challenge from the Englishman, but no foul given.
England 0-0 Brazil
12 mins: CLOSE! The first real chance of the game, and Walker clears off the line!
It’s a simple chance too, as Lucas Paqueta clips a lofted through ball over the top of the England defence. The line is too high and Vinicius Jr. is played clean through.
Pickford is in no man’s land as he’s caught between two minds whether to come out or not, but he’s lucky as Vini Jr.’s shot is weak, and though it does beat Pickford, Walker is running back to clear off the line.
