Endrick desperately sought minutes to showcase his talent, and he wasted no time in delivering, finding the net in under 45 minutes. Playing his first match for Olympique Lyonnais, he struck before the break.
Paulo Fonseca handed him a starting berth in the French Cup clash against Lille, and the Brazilian forward duly delivered. He had already come close to doubling the lead, seeing a shot cannon off the woodwork, but just before the teams headed for the dressing rooms, he slotted home to make it 1-2.
He grabbed a poacher's goal, appearing precisely where a striker should be. A cross from the left, expertly flicked on to the far post by Tolisso, provided the perfect assist.
Endrick ghosted in unmarked, positioning himself perfectly to fire home with his left foot. His clinical, low shot across goal put Lyon 2-1 up.
