Brazil Edge Egypt 2-1 in Final World Cup Warm-Up at Huntington Bank Field

Endrick Delivers the Winner

Ancelotti made key adjustments at halftime, bringing on Endrick. The young forward, already making waves on the international stage, made an immediate impact. In the 52nd minute, Raphinha delivered a dangerous cut-back from the left side of the penalty area. Endrick swept the ball into the far corner with clinical precision, restoring Brazil’s lead at 2-1.

The goal highlighted Endrick’s composure and finishing ability under pressure—qualities that position him as a key asset for Brazil’s World Cup campaign.

Brazil maintained control for much of the second half, though Egypt continued to threaten on the break. The defense, anchored by players like Marquinhos and supported by midfielders such as Casemiro, held firm to preserve the narrow victory. Goalkeeper Alisson Becker was solid when called upon.
