A last-gasp win for Brazil

Brazil started with a few new faces which indicated that Dorival Junior was intending to test ahead of the Copa America 2024. Brazil scored within 5 minutes but the performance was absolutely below par. 

The injection of recognized names brought momentum but Mexico looked the better side. Still, the Brazilian midfield looked disorganized and Mexico came back from 0-2 down to equalize in the stoppage time. 

Endrick and Vinicius Jr linked up well to score the winner in the 96th minute. 

Endrick has scored 3 goals in 3 matches from the bench and is hinting at the number 9 which Brazil has been searching for since 2006. He can take the load off the forwards and deserve to be the starter. Perhaps, his age is not allowing Dorival to take the risk. But, you have to take the risk as Brazil has a great history with 17-year-old talents.

Thank You
