At just 17 years old, Endrick continues to impress with Palmeiras. During the crucial match against Fluminense, crucial for the title, the Brazilian striker once again showed his technique with a high class action. After a oriented control over 45 meters, he shifted perfectly to Breno Lopez who only had to push the ball into the back of the net. Unfortunately for Palmeiras, the goal was invalidated by VAR for a prior handball from Endrick.

Despite a slump linked to the announcement of his departure for the White House, Endrick was able to raise his head in the money-time to almost qualify Palmeiras.
