England (4-2-3-1) Jordan Pickford England’s No 1 made a smart stop from Rodrygo during the first half. Powerless to stop Endrick scoring Brazil’s late winner. 6 Kyle Walker The captain raced back to clear Vinícius Júnior’s shot off the line but soon limped off with a muscle injury. 6 John Stones Solid at centre-back for much of the contest, only to be caught out when he lost Vinícius Júnior for the goal. 5 Harry Maguire Had his horror moment in the first half, gifting Rodrygo a chance with a backpass. His place has to be under review. 5 Ben Chilwell Did not offer conclusive proof that he can replace Luke Shaw. Made a block on Raphinha but toiled in possession. 6 Conor Gallagher Struggled to show that he deserves the third midfield spot. Was sloppy in possession and exposed by Brazil’s triangles. 5 Declan Rice The Arsenal midfielder had his hands full dealing with Brazil’s creative menace. Unable to use his power to burst forward. 6 Phil Foden Another quiet display for England. Could not get into it on the right. Ineffective as a No 10 in the second half. 5 Jude Bellingham Played high and tried to seize the initiative with some driving runs. Booked for a poor tackle in the first half. 6 Anthony Gordon The winger was willing on his debut. Went close with a couple of shots, but he lacked an end product. 6 Ollie Watkins Ran the channels and almost opened the scoring after a pass from Gallagher. But England were disconnected without Harry Kane. 5 Substitutes Ezri Konsa (for Walker, 20) Debut showing, coming on for the captain. 6 Lewis Dunk (for Maguire, 67) Gave possession away before the goal. 5 Joe Gomez (for Chilwell, 67) Appeared to be playing Vinícius Júnior onside for the goal. 5 Jarrod Bowen (for Bellingham, 67) 6 Kobbie Mainoo (for Gallagher, 75) 6 Marcus Rashford (for Gordon, 75) 6 Brazil (4-3-3) Bento The debutant flapped at a couple of crosses but was mostly assured. Made a decent stop from Gordon’s curling shot. 6 Danilo Used his experience to stop Gordon’s runs. But there were a couple of moments when England threatened down his side. 6 Fabrício Bruno Made his debut because of Brazil’s injury problems and did not put a foot wrong. The Flamengo defender looked powerful. 7 Lucas Beraldo The youngster stepped up on his debut and shackled Watkins. Brazil have plenty of strength in depth at the back. 7 Wendell The Porto defender impressed against Arsenal earlier this month and this was another strong display. Won his duel with Foden. 7 Lucas Paquetá West Ham midfielder hit the post, shot just wide and had fun at England’s expense at times. Lucky not to be sent off. 7 Bruno Guimarães The Newcastle midfielder controlled the tempo for long spells. England have a history of struggling against smart players like Guimarães. 7 João Gomes Another comfortable performer on his first start for the Seleçao. Lost Bellingham on one occasion but contributed to the win. 7 Raphinha The Barcelona winger made little impact against Chilwell. A couple of dangerous runs in the second half offered fleeting hope. 5 Rodrygo Nimble and clever on the ball. Created an early chance for himself. Then shot wide after a mistake from Maguire. 6 Vinícius Júnior The liveliest attacker on the pitch during the first half. His dribbles worried England and his burst led to Endrick’s goal. 7 Substitutes Andreas Pereira (for Paquetá, 71) Entered the fray and pierced England with a lovely pass to Vinícius Júnior. 7 Endrick (for Rodrygo, 71) The 17-year-old stole the show by coming on to tap in the only goal. 7 Sávio (for Raphinha, 78) 6 Douglas Luiz (for Guimarães, 79) 6 Pablo Maia (for Vinícius Júnior, 90) 6 Bremer (for Wendell, 89) 6
