Endrick made an impressive debut for Real Madrid, scoring in their 3-0 victory over Real Valladolid. This win marked Madrid's first La Liga triumph of the season.
Real Madrid faced frustration for much of the match, particularly during Kylian Mbappe's home debut. However, the game shifted in the second half when Federico Valverde broke the deadlock with a low shot that deflected off Stanko Juric and past Valladolid goalkeeper Karl Hein.
Substitute Brahim Diaz extended Madrid's lead to 2-0 in the 88th minute. Diaz controlled a long ball from Eder Militao and deftly chipped it over Hein.
Endrick, the 18-year-old Brazilian forward, added the final touch with a powerful strike inside the near post in the final minute of added time.
The match had been tightly contested in the first half, with Valladolid defending deep and limiting the impact of Madrid's attackers, including Mbappe, Vinicius Jr, and Rodrygo.
The game opened up as Valladolid pushed for an equalizer, providing more opportunities for Madrid's offense. Mbappe had several chances but did not score.
Real Madrid, who had drawn 1-1 with Mallorca in their previous La Liga match, will next play against Las Palmas on Thursday at 20:30 BST.
Endrick, who joined Real Madrid in July 2024 following a transfer agreement made in December 2022, made his debut after FIFA regulations delayed his move. Despite being just 18, Endrick has already made an impact, having scored for Brazil in a friendly against England earlier this year. His brief appearance against Valladolid demonstrated his potential and contribution to the team.
