England fell to a 1-0 defeat against Brazil, with the winner in the friendly coming from the 17-year-old Real Madrid-bound Endrick
have struggled to scratch. Rarely do they get very much from Brazil; their record in games with them is worse than that against any other opponent and it was a night when things got worse, adding a worry line or two to Gareth Southgate’s brow.
The smattering of boos upon the full-time whistle was inevitable, almost traditional, and Southgate was left with much to ponder before Tuesday night’s friendly here against Belgium. England’s record against Brazil now shows 12 defeats in 27 matches, with just four wins. Vinícius should have scored in the 12th minute only to shoot weakly past Pickford, which allowed Walker to get back and mop up in front of goal. The chance had been created by a lovely piece of skill by Lucas Paquetá followed by a floated through-ball. There was also the moment when Vinícius sliced away from Walker inside the area but, rather than shoot, he exaggerated the contact from a check by Walker and went down. It was not a penalty.
Brazil appeared to target Bellingham, who was booked for a lunge at Bruno Guimarães. It turned into a test of the Real midfielder’s temperament. He could feel his blood boiling.
