Endrick was set free in the area by Vinicius Junior and he made no mistake with a lovely finish into the right side of the net.
Earlier in the 16th minute, Vinicius Junior went down under a challenge in the box, but the referee immediately waved away the appeals from all players.
In the 27th minute, Declan Rice went down under a challenge from the defender. All players chased the referee but he was not interested in the penalty claim.
Lucas Paqueta, in the 35th minute latched onto a short pass just on the edge of the box and shot. The effort beat the keeper but came back off the left post.
