Why Endrick’s victory vs England was permitted by VAR even though the Brazil star was offside
Despite VAR ruling Endrick offside, his winning goal against England at Wembley was legitimate.
In the 80th minute, the 17-year-old poked in to become the youngest-ever male goal scorer in Wembley history. Endrick opened his international account after the goal and began to celebrate wildly.
Jordan Pickford had stopped Vinicius Junior’s first attempt after the Real Madrid star had gotten past the Three Lions defense to score. The England players were certain that Endrick should not have been allowed to score since he was offside on the first pass to his partner. After a VAR review, the strike was approved. And the reason the purpose was entirely lawful has finally been revealed.
Even though the child was offside on the first run, he did not impede Vinicius Junior’s ball play. After then, he was back onside because he was behind the ball from the Real Madrid forward’s first shot.
During co-commentary, former England goalkeeper Rob Green clarified as much. Using a goal replay as a guide, he declared: “Endrick offside.” while refraining from meddling. Vinicius Jr. perfectly timed it. From there, we are aware of the result.
Endrick’s goal sparked debate, but veteran Three Lions player Joe Cole was all praise for the young player and his scoring prowess. After the final siren, he made the following statement: “He won’t score an easier goal.” That choice to close the rear door is what I’m referring to.
“That guy just lobs one into midfield, and there’s the response.” Brazil performed brilliantly all night, making breakthroughs.

“Vinicius ought to store it. In his career, he won’t score a goal more easily. They’re on you for that second ball right now, and they’re facing the goal after that.
Gomes plays a beautiful onside ball there in the back, but what I really like about him is that he keeps it going. He won’t score a goal more easily. He reminds me a little bit of Romario, in my opinion.
“I was talking to Gilberto about how his body fits into his clothes, how he struck the ball, how he had a little Romario quality about him, and the happiness on his face—he was the youngest player to score at
During this current international break, Endrick will be looking to build on his first goal for Brazil. On Tuesday, Brazil plays Spain at the Santiago Bernabeu, his future home.
In the meantime, the Three Lions’ goal in their second match of the week is to get back on track. Tuesday is when Gareth Southgate’s team returns to Wembley to play Belgium.
