To put into context just how young Endrick is, he was born 12 days after the 2006 FIFA World Cup final. He was not even alive when Zinedine Zidane headbutted Marco Materazzi. Ridiculous.

This was only his third appearance for Brazil but he's already made a name for himself in his home country having played 66 times for Palmeiras, scoring 18 goals.
