Real Madrid-bound wonderkid Endrick posts shocking passing stat for Brazil in Copa America quarter-final defeat despite playing full 90 minutes

<p>Despite staying on for the whole game, <em>Opta</em> picked up only one successful pass from Endrick over 90 minutes. The quarter-final tie finished 0-0 and Uruguay then prevailed on penalties. Endrick, who is now set to join Real Madrid from Palmeiras, did not take one of the spot-kicks, with Eder Militao and Douglas Luiz misses the killer blows for Brazil.</p><center><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Endrick played the full 90 minutes and completed one pass.

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Endrick was given the number nine shirt for Brazil this summer but the quarter-final was his first start of the tournament, drafted in to replace the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/already-lost-neymar-dorival-junior-laments-vinicius-junior-booking-brazil-star-player-banned-copa-america-quarter-finals/blt6b55e55509a8e488" target="_blank">suspended Vinicius Junior</a>. He had featured off the bench in all three group games against Costa Rica, Paraguay and Colombia but failed to make much impact in any. Overall, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/brazil-winners-and-losers-selecao-copa-america-uruguay/bltec8bb5323a2b7d98" target="_blank">Brazil as a team severely underwhelmed</a>, only beating Paraguay and scoring just once across the 270 minutes of the Costa Rica, Colombia and Uruguay clashes. </p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p><a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/brazil-endrick-scores-five-minutes-into-santiago-bernabeu-debut-spain-real-madrid/blt60e39d195d38fcad" target="_blank">The hype surrounding Endrick was heightened in March</a> when he scored in successive internationals for Brazil against England and Spain. He was the first since Pele to do that before turning 18, making an earlier impact for the Selecao than former teen prodigies who became legends like Ronaldo and Neymar.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Endrick will celebrate his 18th birthday on July 21, finally makng him eligible to complete his move to Madrid. The level of expectation on him will be extraordinarily high, but he may have to be patient for chances off the bat given that he will soon be team-mates with Vinicius Junior, Rodrygo and Kylian Mbappe.</p>
