England (4-2-3-1)
Jordan Pickford England’s No 1 made a smart stop from Rodrygo during the first half. Powerless to stop Endrick scoring Brazil’s late winner. 6
Kyle Walker The captain raced back to clear Vinícius Júnior’s shot off the line but soon limped off with a muscle injury. 6
John Stones Solid at centre-back for much of the contest, only to be caught out when he lost Vinícius Júnior for the goal. 5
Harry Maguire Had his horror moment in the first half, gifting Rodrygo a chance with a backpass. His place has to be under review. 5
Ben Chilwell Did not offer conclusive proof that he can replace Luke Shaw. Made a block on Raphinha but toiled in possession. 6
Conor Gallagher Struggled to show that he deserves the third midfield spot. Was sloppy in possession and exposed by Brazil’s triangles. 5
Declan Rice The Arsenal midfielder had his hands full dealing with Brazil’s creative menace. Unable to use his power to burst forward. 6
Phil Foden Another quiet display for England. Could not get into it on the right. Ineffective as a No 10 in the second half. 5
Jude Bellingham Played high and tried to seize the initiative with some driving runs. Booked for a poor tackle in the first half. 6
Anthony Gordon The winger was willing on his debut. Went close with a couple of shots, but he lacked an end product. 6
Ollie Watkins Ran the channels and almost opened the scoring after a pass from Gallagher. But England were disconnected without Harry Kane. 5
Substitutes
Ezri Konsa (for Walker, 20) Debut showing, coming on for the captain. 6
Lewis Dunk (for Maguire, 67) Gave possession away before the goal. 5
Joe Gomez (for Chilwell, 67) Appeared to be playing Vinícius Júnior onside for the goal. 5
Jarrod Bowen (for Bellingham, 67) 6
Kobbie Mainoo (for Gallagher, 75) 6
Marcus Rashford (for Gordon, 75) 6
Brazil (4-3-3)
Bento The debutant flapped at a couple of crosses but was mostly assured. Made a decent stop from Gordon’s curling shot. 6
Danilo Used his experience to stop Gordon’s runs. But there were a couple of moments when England threatened down his side. 6
Fabrício Bruno Made his debut because of Brazil’s injury problems and did not put a foot wrong. The Flamengo defender looked powerful. 7
Lucas Beraldo The youngster stepped up on his debut and shackled Watkins. Brazil have plenty of strength in depth at the back. 7
Wendell The Porto defender impressed against Arsenal earlier this month and this was another strong display. Won his duel with Foden. 7
Lucas Paquetá West Ham midfielder hit the post, shot just wide and had fun at England’s expense at times. Lucky not to be sent off. 7
Bruno Guimarães The Newcastle midfielder controlled the tempo for long spells. England have a history of struggling against smart players like Guimarães. 7
João Gomes Another comfortable performer on his first start for the Seleçao. Lost Bellingham on one occasion but contributed to the win. 7
Raphinha The Barcelona winger made little impact against Chilwell. A couple of dangerous runs in the second half offered fleeting hope. 5
Rodrygo Nimble and clever on the ball. Created an early chance for himself. Then shot wide after a mistake from Maguire. 6
Vinícius Júnior The liveliest attacker on the pitch during the first half. His dribbles worried England and his burst led to Endrick’s goal. 7
Substitutes
Andreas Pereira (for Paquetá, 71) Entered the fray and pierced England with a lovely pass to Vinícius Júnior. 7
Endrick (for Rodrygo, 71) The 17-year-old stole the show by coming on to tap in the only goal. 7
Sávio (for Raphinha, 78) 6
Douglas Luiz (for Guimarães, 79) 6
Pablo Maia (for Vinícius Júnior, 90) 6
Bremer (for Wendell, 89) 6
