In the friendly match between Mexico and Brazil, coach Dorival Júnior's team, although leading quite early, had to rely on a late goal from young talent Endrick to have complete joy at Kyle Field (USA).

Brazil:Andreas Pereira (5'), Martinelli (54'), Endrick (90'+6)

Brazil took to the field with the B team, with familiar names like Vinicius, Rodrygo and Marquinhos sitting on the bench. However, this team still dominated the game and found the opening goal very early.

In the 5th minute, Pereira, after receiving a pass from Savinho, calmly eliminated 2 Mexican defenders and decisively scored against the North American team. With an early goal, Brazil continued to push up the formation to look for more opportunities, but they encountered strong resistance from Mexico.

Even goalkeeper Alisson had to show his talent once to save Brazil in the 20th minute after a dangerous long-range shot from Arteaga of Mexico. That was also Mexico's most notable move in the first 45 minutes.

In the second half, both teams continued to show their desire to score. Brazil was the better team when Martinelli doubled the gap in the 54th minute. Mexico had nothing to lose and pressed their formation to attack in search of a goal to narrow the gap. It was not until the 73rd minute that coach Jimmy Lozano's team got what they needed when Julian Quinones scored to reduce the score to 1-2.

In the following minutes, Mexico continued to put pressure on Alisson's goal and they were able to equalize after Guillermo Ayala scored in the 90+2 minute. It seemed like the match would end in a draw, but Brazil took the lead thanks to the Real Madrid duo Vinicius and Endrick. From Vinicius' cross, young striker Endrick jumped high and headed the ball accurately in the 90+6 minute, thereby sealing a dramatic 3-2 victory for Brazil.

After this match, Brazil will play a friendly against the United States, while Mexico will face Jamaica before both officially enter the 2024 Copa America campaign.
