England - Brazil summary: Endrick winner, score, goal and highlights | International friendly

Peeep peep peeep! Brazil are the winners at Wembley. It’s very hard to begrudge the visitors their victory. They created almost all of the clear-cut chances.

For England, it's a first Wembley defeat in three and a half years - and a little bit of a letdown, to be honest. The pre-game talk was that the hosts were, for once, favourites against the five-time world champions, but they struggled to carve out genuine scoring opportunities.

Brazil, meanwhile, bring an end to their three-game losing run. For Dorival Júnior, it's a dream start to his tenure as Seleçao boss. As for Endrick, well, as Clive Tyldesley once said: remember the name.

The Brazilians now travel to Madrid for a friendly with Spain, while England are back at Wembley for a clash with Belgium. Both those games are on Tuesday.

Thanks for joining! Bye!

The corner almost leads to a goal - but not for England.

Brazil break at pace, working it to Endrick in acres of space inside the English box. He tries to plant a sidefooted shot low into the net, but Pickford saves.

One last England attack. Can they salvage a draw?

From the right-hand channel, Foden drifts a cross over to Rashford at the back post, but again he's beaten to it and it's behind or a corner.

Oh, that's a crucial touch from Danilo.

From the right, Rice whips a ball over to the far post, where Rashford is waiting to get his head to it. Danilo gets there just before the Manchester United forward, however.

Collecting the ball on the left, Rashford tries to dance his way into a shooting position in the box, but is muscled off it by a gaggle of Brazilians.

There will be four minutes of time added on.

Here are those Brazilian substitutions. Pablo Maia and Bemer are on for Vinícius and Wendell.

Brazil work it left to Endrick, who tries to skip past Konsa.

Konsa does well to hold the teenager off, and wins a free-kick for England.

Another couple of Brazil subs coming up.

Wembley has fallen very quiet indeed. The only fans making any real noise are the Brazilians.

Endrick, of course, is heading to Real Madrid in the summer.

If you'd like to know more about the Bernabéu-star-to-be, let me point you in the direction of this visual story by my colleague Sergio Moraleda.

That's Endrick's first goal for Brazil, and England are in grave danger of losing at Wembley for the first time since October 2020.

England are adamant that Vinícius was offside - but one VAR check later, the goal stands!

Brazil take off Raphinha and Bruno Guimaraes, and replace them with Douglas Luiz and Savinho.

Rashford plays a one-two with Foden on the left, but is dispossessed when he tries to surge on towards the byline.

Rashford then fould Bruno Guimaraes as the Newcastle midfielder brings it clear.

Mainoo is on, as is Marcus Rashford.

Gallagher and Gordon are withdrawn.

It looks like Kobbie Mainoo is about to be handed his England debut.

Watkins does very well to get a cross away from the left-hand byline - he seemed boxed in - but his ball can't find anyone in a white shirt.

At the other end, Raphinha cuts inside menacingly from the right, before sending a low strike towards goal. Dunk, one of the men just on, is well positioned and blocks.

A double substitution for Brazil. Andreas Pereira and Endrick Felipe are on, with Paquetá and Rodrygo making way.

There are some jeers from the home supporters for Paquetá, who very much assumed the role of pantomime villain tonight.

Gallagher tumbles in the box when Beraldo comes out to meet him on the right-hand side, but again the referee waves away the penalty appeals.

Twenty minutes to go at Wembley.

Can someone find the breakthrough, or are we headed for a second straight goalless draw between these sides?

Bellingham is indeed off, with Jarrrod Bowen replacing him.

It’s a triple England change: Joe Gomez is for Chilwell, and Lewis Dunk is on for Maguire.

Bellingham rises highest at the back post to meet Gallagher's right-wing cross, but sends his looping header past Bento's post.

Bellingham seems to be struggling with spot of cramp. He may be off soon.

That's a lovely first-time strike by Paquetá, but it flies just off target!

At the top of the England box, Bruno Guimaraes touches it right to Paquetá, who's lurking on the corner of the area. He tries to send it across Pickford and into the far top corner, and Pickford his very happy to see it flash by his goal.

From about 40 yards or so out, Bellingham spot Bento off his line and tries to lift it over the Brazil keeper, but gets too much on it. It's high over the bar.

Now it's England's turn to create a neatly-worked forward foray.

Receiving on the left, Gordon waits for Chilwell's overlap before slipping the left-back into the Brazil area with a perfectly-timed pass.

Chilwell has Foden waiting, but his cut-back is blocked.

England recycle it back to Bellingham at the top of the box, where the Real Madrid man lays it off for Gallagher to strike. 

Gallagher gets plenty of welly behind his strike, but aims it a couple of yards past Bento's post.

Again it's slick forward play by Brazil.

Paquetá carries the ball into the England half, before playing it inside to Bruno Guimaraes. He quickly shuttles it out to Rodrygo, who's in space to strike first-time on the right-hand side of the area - but Chilwell does very well to block the shot.

That's nice combination play by Brazil - but nobody is there to get on the end of Vinícius' ball into the danger area!

Rodrygo works it to Wendell on the left, and he in turn plays it to Vinícius. The Real Madrid forward hares towards the England byline and plays it across Pickford's goal, but there's no-one in a blue shirt to connect with the delivery.

Gordon cuts back onto his right and fizzes a ball into the Brazil box, but Beraldo clears.

Jude Bellingham during tonight's game at Wembley.

There's an opening for Gordon - but Bento palms it away!

Rice's free-kick delivery from the right arrows over everyone and onto Gordon's boot, but the Newcastle man's volley is beaten out by the Brazil goalkeeper.

At the other end, Bellingham lifts a lovely left-wing ball over to the far post, where Foden is arriving. He's beaten to the ball, and it's turned behind.

The corner is delivered right onto Maguire's head, but he times his jump wrong and can only turn it high into the air with his shoulder.

Bento momentarily flaps at it, but Brazil clear.

Raphinha receives on the right flank, and whips a ball in towards the near post. It's too close to Pickford, though, and the England keeper gathers with ease.

Peeep! The players are back out at Wembley, and we're underway once more.

No half-time changes for either team.

SOCCER

Why are England wearing black armbands?

In case you were wondering, England's black armbands are in honour of Terry Venables.

My colleague David Nelson has more on the hosts' tribute to their former manager.

Physical Paquetá

It was certainly a full-blooded display from Paquetá, let's just say.

MLS

New York Red Bulls - Inter Miami live online: score, stats and updates | MLS

By the way, we also have live-text commentary from MLS right now.

My colleague Will Gittins has coverage of New York Red Bulls vs Inter Miami, which is into its final stages.

The Red Bulls are 4-0 up in New Jersey!

Kyle Walker (left) talks to England manager Gareth Southgate after leaving the field with a hamstring issue.

Peeep peep peeep! That’s half time.

England have had more of the ball, but it’s the Brazilians who’ve had the best chance. 

Paquetá really should have scored that opportunity just after the half-hour mark, rather than hitting the post. He’s also more than a shade fortunate to still to be on the field.

We're into the first of two minutes of time added on at Wembley.

Bellingham slips it left to Chilwell, who has plenty of space to pick out a cross. He slices his delivery dreadfully, and it flies over the bar and behind for a goal-kick.

Rice also takes the corner. It flies through a crowd of bodies and to Foden at the back stick... but before the Man City man can prod it into the net from point-blank range, Bruno Guimaraes is there to hack it away.

England earn another free-kick on the right, which Rice will take.

Rice's ball is hit with plenty of pace, but it can't find an England shirt. Brazil get it behind for a corner.

Ufff, that's dreadful from Maguire.

His backpass is woefully underhit, allowing Raphinha to nip and shoot from the edge of the box. 

Luckily for Maguire, Raphinha doesn't hit his strike right at all. He screws it past Pickford's post. 

Bellingham drives forward, before being fouled by... you guessed it, Paquetá.

The West Ham player, who is on a yellow, is actually quite lucky not to be booked. Bellingham certainly thinks so, and gives the referee a sizeable piece of his mind when the Portuguese refuses to produce a second yellow card.

Having so nearly gone behind, can England respond?

Chilwell touches it back to Gordon on the edge of the Brazil box, but the Newcastle winger's shot is blocked.

A moment later, Foden whips a low, curling effort towards goal from 20 yards or so out, but it's too close to Bento.

England's first shot on target, apparently.

Brazil hit the post!

Fresh from his richly deserved yellow card, Paquetá has space to pick his spot from 12 yards or so out, but finds Pickford's right-hand upright! England gave him far too much freedom to shoot.

Paquetá, who has committed foul after foul tonight, is booked for bringing down Stones on the halfway line.

Rodrygo plays a neat give-and-go with Paquetá, whose lifted return ball finds the Real Madrid forward in space inside the England box.

Thankfully for the hosts, however, Rodrygo loses his footing and can't control. The chance is lost.

England come again.

Watkins feeds it out to the left to Gordon, before receiving the return and scampering towards the byline.

He then cuts it back into the middle, where Bellingham is arriving - but Bellingham can't connect.

Nice build-up play, though.

England are racking up the free-kicks. This time it's Bellingham who is felled, Joao Gomes bringing him down in a central area some 40 yards or so out from goal.

Rice clips the dead ball into the box, but Brazil clear.

Receiving the ball just outside of the Brazil box, Gordon tries to clip a curling shot into Bento's far corner, but it's deflected behind.

Again the corner is cleared only as far as Chilwell, who's loitering with intent just outside the area. He doesn't sky his effort this time, but he can't find the target. He scuffs a bouncing shot a few yards past Bento's left-hand post.

England have reclaimed the initiative in the last few minutes.

Once more, Chilwell crosses from the left, but Fabrício Bruno heads away.

Back come England, though, Foden playing it to Bellingham and advancing into the box in search of the Real Madrid player's return. Foden then flops to the floor under Wendell's challenge... but again Mr Soares Dias says no penalty.

The corner finally falls to Chilwell on the edge of the box, where the Chelsea man has time to meet the bouncing ball with a shot.

The less said about that shot, though, the better. It flies high into the stands.

Chilwell takes, drifting his cross onto Maguire's head at the far post - and the Manchester United defender's effort comes off a blue shirt and is deflected behind.

And again Paquetá gives away an England free-kick. This time it's in the left-hand channel, after he brings Gordon down.

Rice and Chilwell standing over it...

England win yet another free-kick on the right wing, and Foden will take.

Foden lifts it high to the back post to Rice, who has peeled off into space. He has too much time to chest it down and fire it low into the middle, but Brazil deal with it.

Walker is off - England are clearly taking no chances with that hamstring problem.

He's replaced by Konsa, who is making his debut.

Now England create their best chance thus far - but Watkins blazes over!

From the left, Bellingham lifts it to Gallagher at the top of the box. He then works the bouncing ball to the right to Watkins, who has space to burst into the area and shoot.

His first touch is good, but his second isn't. He fires well over the bar!

England enjoyed much the better of the opening 10 minutes, but Brazil are coming to life now.

First, Vinícius jinks past Walker inside the box, before tumbling to the turf under the right-back's challenge. No penalty, says the referee.

A moment later, Brazil work it to Rodrygo in shooting space in the area, but he flashes his low strike past the post!

Play is halted for a minute or so when Walker drops to the turf, clutching his hamstring.

He leaves the field for a moment's treatment... but is quickly back on. Let's see how he gets on.

Oh, that's a bad tackle by Bellingham. He catches Bruno Guimaraes with a very late challenge, and deservedly goes into the book.

Oh, that's a fine chance for Vinícius!

In the blink of an eye, the Real Madrid forward is released in behind the England defence, with Pickford coming out of his goal to narrow the angle.

Vinícius beats Pickford, but undercooks his shot! Walker has time to scuttle back and clear it off the line!

Now it's England's turn to keep the ball for a little while.

The hosts finally feed it left to Chilwell, who tries to whip a ball into the area, towards the penalty spot. Fabrício Bruno is in position to clear.

Brazil enjoy their first sustained period of possession, keeping it inside England's half for a good minute or so.

The visitors finally work it to Rodrygo, who has space to dart towards the England box and shoot. He zips a low effort towards Pickford's left-hand corner, but it doesn't have enough power or direction to trouble the keeper.

We're only seven minutes in, of course, but Brazil have barely crossed the halfway line thus far.

This time it's Chilwell who takes, clipping a curling ball into the box towards Maguire at the back stick.

The flag is up, though. Maguire had drifted into an offside position when Chilwell played the ball in.

Now England win another free-kick, in pretty much exactly the same spot as the other one.

Again Gallagher leads the attack, and again he is fouled by Paquetá.

It's Foden who'll deliver... and he almost catches Bento at at his back post! 

Foden whips a ball over everyone's head and, for a moment, it looks like it's going to drop into the far corner of the net. It flashes just wide, though.

England get their first chance to push Brazil back, Gallagher scampering forward and slipping it right to Walker.

Walker gets himself in a bit of tangle, but manages to work it back inside to Gallagher, who is fouled. A dangerous early free-kick for England on the right-hand corner of the box.

Peeep! Artur Soares Dias gets us underway.

Minute's applause for Venables

As mentioned earlier, Wembley pays tribute to the late Terry Venables before kick-off.

We have a minute of applause for the former England boss.

Last look at the England and Brazil line-ups

God Save the King is next - and with that sung, it’s almost time to go. A final reminder of tonight’s teams:

England

Pickford, Walker, Stones, Maguire, Chilwell, Rice, Gallagher, Bellingham, Foden, Gordon, Watkins

Brazil

Bento, Danilo, F. Bruno, Beraldo, Wendell, Guimaraes, Gomes, Paquetá, Rodrygo, Vinícius, Raphinha

Out come the teams!

The England and Brazil players take to the Wembley pitch, where they will line up for the national anthems.

Brazil first; ooh, I'm a fan of this one. It's a jaunty number.

SOCCER

Who is Artur Soares Dias, the referee for England vs Brazil today?

Today's referee is Portugal's Artur Soares Dias - who was also in charge the last time the teams met.

Here's a short profile of the 44-year-old.

Warm-ups well underway at Wembley

We've got 10 minutes remaining until kick-off in London, where the players are deep into their warm-up routines.

INTERNATIONAL FRIENDLY

England - Brazil: times, how to watch on TV, stream online | International friendly

If you're asking yourself how you can watch England vs Brazil on TV or online, let me point you in the direction of my colleague Roddy Cons' guide on where you can tune in.

"Yeah, you crack on"

This reaction from the writer Nooruddean Choudry best sums up my feelings on the matter, I think.

"We shouldn't mess with" flag - Sunak

The controversy stems from the fact that the shirt includes a multi-coloured St George’s Cross on the back of the collar, in what Nike have called a “playful update on the traditional red and white national flag.

It's a creative decision that has come in for criticism (from people who, if you ask me, need to get a grip - it's just a football kit).

UK prime minister Rishi Sunak, for example, said: "When it comes to our national flags, we shouldn't mess with them because they're a source of pride, identity, who we are, and they're perfect as they are.”

England's new kit causes controversy

As I mentioned earlier, we'll be seeing two new Nike kits at Wembley today.

England's - which I think is de-lish - has become quite the bone of contention in the UK. Sigh.

A long time since last competitive meeting

England and Brazil haven't crossed swords in a competitive match for over 20 years now.

That clash, as David Seaman won't thank me for reminding you, came in the quarter-finals of the 2002 World Cup.

Ronaldinho's fabulous/ridiculously flukey lob over Seaman's head earned the Brazilians a 2-1 win in Japan, on their way to their most recent world title.

When did England and Brazil last meet?

This is England and Brazil's first meeting since November 2017, when they also faced off at Wembley. 

That day, the teams played out a scoreless draw - their second straight stalemate.

The countries had drawn 2-2 in their previous encounter, in Rio de Janeiro in June 2023.

Who is Dorival Júnior?

Dorival Júnior has had a long coaching career, but many of you may not be entirely familiar with him.

In two decades in the dugout, Dorival has coached a large, large number of Brazil’s major clubs: Cruzeiro, Santos, Vasco da Gama, Internacional, Atlético Mineiro, Flamengo, Fluminense, Palmeiras, Athletico Paranaense, São Paulo...

A Copa Libertadores winner with Flamengo in 2022, he left São Paulo to take up the Brazil post.

The Brazilian Football Federation turned to the 61-year-old after missing out on first choice Carlo Ancelotti, who signed a new Real Madrid deal late last year.

To find out more about Dorival, check out my colleague Calum Roche's profile of the coach.

Brazil's long injury list

Brazil are missing a number of major names through injury.

Ederson, Marquinhos, Gabriel Martinelli and Casemiro all pulled out of the squad, while Alisson, Éder Militao, Neymar are all also unavailable and were not included. Gabriel Jesus, whose has endured injury struggles at Arsenal recently, was also omitted.

Gordon given England bow, Brazil packed with debutants

From an England point of view, the major news is that Anthony Gordon starts and will make his senior debut.

Brazil, meanwhile, will have no fewer than five debutants by my count: Bento, Fabrício Bruno, Lucas Beraldo, Wendell and João Gomes all come into the team for their international bows.

Confirmed England starting XI

England's line-up has also been confirmed. Southgate's starters are: Pickford, Walker, Stones, Maguire, Chilwell, Rice, Gallagher, Bellingham, Foden, Gordon, Watkins.

Confirmed Brazil starting XI

Dorival's first Brazil line-up is out! He has gone with: Bento, Danilo, F. Bruno, Beraldo, Wendell, Guimaraes, Gomes, Paquetá, Rodrygo, Vinícius, Raphinha.

Dorival debut

In the wake of the Argentina defeat, Brazil sacked boss Fernando Diniz, and replaced him with the veteran coach Dorival Júnior in January.

Dorival, 61, takes charge of his first game today.

Crisis-hit Canarinha

While England are on a 10-game unbeaten run since losing their World Cup quarter-final to France in Qatar, Brazil's form is... dreadful.

The five-time world champions have lost their last three games - all 2026 World Cup qualifiers - and saw a long unbeaten home run come to an end in their most recent defeat.

The Brazilians' 1-0 November loss to Argentina was the first time they had ever been defeated in a World Cup qualifier on home soil.

The Boys in Blue

Brazil and England will both be wearing brand-new kits tonight (more on which later).

The visitors won't be in their famous yellow, however; they'll be in their blue away shirt.

England to honour Venables

By the way, tonight's game will see Wembley pay tribute to former England manager Terry Venables, who died last November.

In charge of the Three Lions between 1994 and 1996, Venables led the team to the semi-finals of Euro 96.

Mai-noo kid on the block

Three other players with the chance to show their credentials this month are Everton’s Jarrad Branthwaite, Newcastle United’s Anthony Gordon and Manchester United’s Kobbie Mainoo.

The trio are all in the senior England squad for the first time.

Like many others, I’m particularly keen to see Mainoo get a run-out today.

SOCCER

Why isn’t Harry Kane playing in England’s friendly against Brazil today?

Here's the full story on Kane's injury absence - which, Southgate says, offers the likes of Ollie Watkins and Ivan Toney a "brilliant opportunity" to show what they can do ahead of the Euros.

Kane ruled out of Brazil clash

There will be no Harry Kane for England today. 

The Bayern Munich striker is still struggling with an ankle injury picked up in last weekend's Bundesliga win over Darmstadt - and Gareth Southgate says he is also "extremely doubtful" for the game against Belgium next week.

Jordan Henderson and Cole Palmer have also been ruled out of the Brazil match, but "have a better chance" of facing the Belgians than Kane does, according to Southgate.

Brazil gearing up for Copa América

As for Brazil, who are currently on a disastrous run of form, today's game also represents a major-tournament warm-up.

The nine-time South American champions are preparing for the 2024 Copa América this summer.

After facing England, the Brazilians travel to Madrid for another high-profile friendly, against Nations League champions Spain on Tuesday.

Euros on England's horizon

For England, it's the first of two friendlies that will be their last before Gareth Southgate names his provisional squad for this summer's European Championship.

The Three Lions' other March fixture is also a big-name one: they return to Wembley on Tuesday to take on Belgium.

England vs Brazil: welcome

Hello there! It comes with the house-sized caveat that it's only a friendly, of course. But, nonetheless, a match between England and Brazil at Wembley, a stadium dubbed by Pelé himself as the 'church of football', sounds rather appealing, doesn't it? 

Kick-off in London is at 7pm local time - about an hour and a half from now. If you're in the US, the ball gets rolling at 3pm ET/12 noon PT.
