Endrick continues to position himself as a candidate for a spot on the Brazilian National Team.
It was with yet another contribution from the number 9 that Lyon defeated Laval 2-0 this Wednesday (4th).
And advanced to the quarterfinals of the 2025/2026 French Cup.
Winning their 11th consecutive match of the season, including Ligue 1 and UEFA Europa League.
Dominance and goals only at the end
Lyon controlled the action from the start.
But they lacked the skill to get past Hautbois.
The current second-to-last team in the French second division kept hanging on.
Endrick was already drawing attention.
And finally decided it at the 35th minute of the second half.
The also young Afonso Moreira, a 20-year-old Portuguese, finally calmed Lyon’s nerves in the 49th minute.
Reims, Marseille, Lorient, Nice, and Toulouse are also through to the quarterfinals.
Endrick has now scored five goals in five games. And he also has one assist.
Will Ancelotti already be counting on him for the March FIFA dates against France and Croatia?
