    Southgate cautions approach won't win us the Euros. Last game before announcing the squad and he subs on Rashford leaving Toney on the bench. Rashford is a starter for me, but why isn't Toney being tested?

    Brazil try to find Endrick with a long ball through the middle but Jordan Pickford races out to get it.

    You can hear the, presumably, Brazilian drums in the crowd. The visitors are keeping the ball very well.

    Regardless of it being a friendly or not, this is another top 10 side Southgate has failed to beat, he just doesn't have it at the highest level.

    That's why England won't win things under Southgate. Dominate the ball without ever creating anything. Best in the world at playing 1-0 up football when you're 1-0 down.

    Do England have any response? Not immediately anyway as Brazil knock a few passes together.

    Endrick will join Real Madrid from Palmeiras in the summer when he turns 18. The deal was arranged in December 2022.

    This is his third cap and his first international goal.

    My gut instict is that he looked in an offside position.

    John Stones got caught, but Jordan Pickford made a really good save.

    Endrick just anticipated where the ball was going to be!

    They're checking it for offside though.

    The 17-year-old! What a venue to get your first international goal.

    Vinicius Jr runs onto a ball over the top and forces a save from Jordan Pickford.

    The rebound lands to Endrick, who can't miss with an empty net in front of him.

    A couple more Brazilian subs. Savio, another teenage debutant, and Aston Villa's Douglas Luiz are on for Raphinha and Bruno Guimaraes.

    No change in shape.

    Marcus Rashford changes with Anthony Gordon and Kobbie Mainoo slips into the same role that Conor Gallagher was.

    Kobbie Mainoo's first touch asks a lot of Jordan Pickford but the England keeper deals with it.

    Lucas Paqueta has been a good attacking threat and has been involved a lot, but he is fortunate to have committed that many fouls.

    Anthony Gordon feeds Ollie Watkins on the left side of the box. The striker doesn't shoot first time and his cutback just ends at the feet of a Brazilian defender.

    Same old story for England. World-class for the clubs but Championship level for England. Southgate needs to be ruthless with his selection for Germany.
