Today's football results (March 24th) include several notable friendly matches. At Wembley Stadium, England faced Brazil. With home advantage and a superior squad, England tried to press from the very first minutes.
However, it was the Brazilian players who had the clearer chances. After Rodrygo shot wide of the post, Paqueta was also denied by the England woodwork. In the 42nd minute, Raphinha's shot narrowly missed the England goal.
In the second half, the pace of the game slowed down somewhat, but opportunities didn't disappear. Both sides had chances to score, but luck was not on their side.
Just when it seemed the match would end in a draw, the turning point came in the 80th minute. Lewis Dunk of England made a rather clumsy header from midfield, creating an opportunity for Andreas Pereira to set up a chance. Vinicius couldn't beat Pickford, but 17-year-old Endrick was there in time to score. The final score was 1-0 in favor of Brazil.
In another match, the French national team lost 0-2 to Germany at home in Lyon. Just seven seconds into the game, Germany opened the scoring when Kroos delivered a precise pass to Florian Wirtz, who unleashed a superb long-range shot into the net. In the 49th minute, Musiala beat goalkeeper Samba before assisting Kai Havertz to double Germany's lead.
There was plenty of time left, but the French team played very poorly and couldn't score even a single goal. Meanwhile, the brilliance of goalkeeper Samba prevented Les Bleus from suffering a heavier defeat. The match ended with a 2-0 victory for Germany.
