An injury-hit Brazil side won the game thanks to their 17-year-old striker Endrick, who scored in the 80th-minute after coming on as a substitute. "I'm not down on the performance of the team," the 53-year-old said."The difference in the end was one moment, really... a couple of mistakes decided the game."
Generally pleased with the performance of his players, Southgate praised the debuts of Manchester United's Kobbie Mainoo and Newcastle United's Anthony Gordon.
