Endrick Scores Winner on Lyon Debut vs Lille

Brazilian forward Endrick marked his debut for Olympique Lyonnais with a decisive goal in a 2-1 victory over Lille that propelled the club into the round of 16 of the Coupe de France on Sunday.

The 19-year-old, on loan from Real Madrid, came off the bench to score the winner in the 42nd minute. Portuguese winger Afonso Moreira opened the scoring for Lyon just 38 seconds into the match, capitalizing on a long kick from goalkeeper Remy Descamps to prod the ball into an unguarded net. Lille equalized in the 28th minute when defender Nathan Ngoy finished a cutback in the penalty area. Moments later, Moreira delivered a cross from the left flank, which midfielder Corentin Tolisso flicked on for Endrick to surge to the back post and guide home with composure.

Endrick, positioned on the left wing, played 72 minutes before being substituted by Adam Karabec. He registered six shots, three on target, and completed both of his long passes while providing four passes into the final third. His energetic display, including several dribbles past defenders, drew praise from observers as Lyon secured a gritty away win in northern France without needing extra time.
