Young striker Endrick is expected to gain important minutes in Brazil’s attack in the duel against Haiti this Friday (19), in the second round of Group C of the 2026 World Cup. After the 1-1 draw with Morocco in the debut, the Seleção needs to win at Lincoln Financial Field, in Philadelphia, starting at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), and Real Madrid’s talent emerges as an option for speed, strength and an eye for goal.
Endrick, despite his young age, already shows maturity and arrives at the clash hungry for the ball. In the first match, he was on the bench, but impressed in training. Against Haiti, the attacker needs to enter with intensity, explore spaces behind the defense and convert chances to open the score.
Endrick’s lineup and potential
Brazil (4-2-3-1):Alisson; Danilo, Marquinhos, Gabriel Magalhães, Douglas Santos; Casemiro (or Fabinho), Bruno Guimarães; Raphinha, Matheus Cunha (or Igor Thiago), Vinícius Júnior; Endrick (in offensive variation).Technical:Carlo Ancelotti.
Haiti (4-4-2):Placide; Arcus, Adé, Delcroix, Expérience; Jean Jacques, Bellegarde, Providence, Deedson; Pierrot, Isidor.Technical:Sébastien Migné.
The Brazilian attack, with the possible entry of Endrick, gains youth and unpredictability. The striker stands out for his speed, physical power and goalscoring instinct — perfect attributes to destabilize the Haitian low block, which has Bellegarde as its main reference.
Without Neymar, who has a calf injury, the team depends on young and talented options. Endrick could be the difference, coming on in the second half or even starting, to put pressure on the opposing defense and create chances alongside Vinícius Júnior.
Recovery in Group C
The victory puts Brazil back in the fight for classification. Scotland leads, Morocco is second and Haiti is at the bottom. Endrick, with his determination, can bring the necessary freshness for a convincing victory and help with the goal difference.
Carlo Ancelotti has shown patience with the youngster, but is aware of his potential. A great performance from Endrick could mark the beginning of a brilliant run in the World Cup and restore confidence to the National Team.

The match will be broadcast on TV Globo, SBT (open TV), SporTV, NSports (closed TV), ge TV, CazéTV (YouTube), Globoplay and Prime Video.
