Endrick stars for Lyon but can't stop Marseille's dramatic comeback

Endrick stars for Lyon but can't stop Marseille's dramatic comeback

The 19‑year‑old Brazilian on loan from Real Madrid continued to show the attacking quality that has made him one of Europe's most exciting young forwards this season.

Lyon struck early in this top‑flight contest. Within three minutes Endrick cushioned a pass into the path of Corentin Tolisso, who finished cleanly to give Lyon the advantage. That opening assist underlined how influential Endrick has been in France since his loan began in December.

Throughout the match Endrick was a constant threat. He repeatedly caused problems with his movement and creativity, setting up another goal for teenager Remi Himbert in the 76th minute to restore Lyon's lead. His vision and flair earned praise, and he completed the game with two assists and several key chances created.

But football can swing in moments. Marseille hit back after the interval through Igor Paixao and then produced a dramatic finish thanks to two late goals from veteran Pierre‑Emerick Aubameyang. The 36‑year‑old's quickfire strikes turned the game on its head and sealed a remarkable victory for the hosts.

Despite the loss, Endrick's performance offered plenty of encouragement for Lyon supporters and Real Madrid fans alike. His influence on the pitch showed why he is tipped for a big future, even if on this occasion his individual brilliance could not deliver a positive result.
