Endrick gives victory to Brazil amid homophobic chants and celebrates “like Messi” | Relief
Brazil’s B team looked impressive in Mexico after a good win and after taking a 0-2 lead midway through the second half. Although Mexico were spooked by drawing their Copa America prep match 2-2 without knowing it. Endrick would appear in the 96th minute to seal the 2-3 win in Texas..
Andreas Pereira and Gabriel Martinelli appear to be back on track. 5 and 54 minutes later, a quiet night for Dorival Junior. But The executioners of Brazil were Colombian Julian Quiñones in the 73rd minute and Guillermo Martinez in the 92nd.
