Endrick’s Long-Range Winner Fires Lyon Into Coupe de France Quarter-Finals

The Real Madrid loanee now has five goals in five games for Lyon, reinforcing a breakout loan spell.

Overview

  • Endrick struck in the 80th minute from roughly 25 yards with a powerful left-foot shot, setting up Lyon’s 2-0 win over Laval to reach the last eight.
  • Pavel Sulc provided the pass before the Brazilian created space and finished, with a late Maxime Hautbois own goal sealing the result in stoppage time.
  • He has five goals and one assist in five appearances for Lyon during his winter loan from Real Madrid.
  • Endrick said the goal let him release pent-up anger from recent performances and added that it was a difficult match despite the victory.
  • Real Madrid forwards Rodrygo and Vinicius Jr. lauded the strike on social media, while speculation about a recall was not acted upon as Lyon await the quarter-final draw and prepare to face Nantes in Ligue 1.
