Endrick’s Impressive Performance

Endrick, who recently received his first call-up to the senior team, showcased his talent by scoring the second goal for Palmeiras in the 58th minute. He unleashed a powerful shot from outside the penalty area, taking advantage of a mistake by American midfielder Johnny Cardoso. Endrick was substituted in the 64th minute, leaving a lasting impact on the match.

Preparing for International Duty

Following his remarkable performance, Endrick is now preparing for his debut with the national team. The young striker will soon travel from São Paulo to Rio de Janeiro, where Brazil will gather for their training camp before facing Colombia in Barranquilla. After the away fixture, they will return home to host Argentina on Tuesday, the 21st.
