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.

48 mins: First corner of the half for England is eventually cleared, but now Stones is fouled and the home side have a dangerous free-kick. Paqueta again – he should probably be off now.

The away side are passing it around nicely as we start the half.

KICK-OFF! The teams are walking back out for the second half, with neither side having made a substitution at half-time.
The home side begin the second half, with Gallagher getting us started. Who, if anyone, will win the 27th fixture between these two sides?
HALF-TIME: England 0-0 Brazil
Even at the break, but Brazil had the better chances, with Paqueta hitting the post, Vinicius Jr. fluffing a chance when clean through and Raphinha wasting a good opportunity.
England have played well in stages, and all of Gordon, Watkins and Bellingham have played well. Foden will want to be more involved in the second period, while Gallagher and Rice just need to keep doing what they’ve been doing.
Both sides have had eight shots and two on target, with England edging possession with 51 per cent to Brazil’s 49 per cent.
England 0-0 Brazil
