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.

55 mins: Brazil win a corner after Guimaraes played a diagonal to Raphinha, whose first-time shot was blocked well by Chilwell. It comes to nothing.

England 0-0 Brazil

49 mins: The free-kick comes in from and it runs to Gordon at the back post. It’s a difficult chance, and he hits it down into the ground, but it’s straight at Bento.

England 0-0 Brazil

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.

46 mins: England have only won four of the previous 26 meetings between the two sides, so a win here would be more valued than your usual friendly.

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

England 0-0 Brazil

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.

HALF-TIME: England 0-0 Brazil

HALF-TIME! The whistle goes as Gordon is found offside. The Newcastle man has given a good account of himself on debut, as has Konsa.

The two teams head into the break level after an entertaining half.

England 0-0 Brazil

45 mins: There’ll be two minutes of added time here.

Chilwell is the latest to waste an attack as his attempted cross goes straight over the bar as England counter.
