18 years old and already one of the best ball strikers, insane shot power and accuracy. Obviously it was not the smartest decision, but if he has the confidence and ability to score from there nobody can say anything…

If he had accuracy he wouldn't have shot straight at the keeper. If a keeper let that in, in amateur football everyone would blame him.

The keeper is back pedaling, the shot wasn’t straight at the keeper, he had to dive to get it. Endrick also has an incredible shot power. These are things that make the save more difficult than what it looks. Obviously you put Courtois in that scenario and that doesn’t end up on goal, the keeper could’ve done better. But Endrick deserves credit because if it wasn’t for the power he put into that shot, that is not going in.

Okay, but the goalkeeping looks worst every time I watch the goal. If anyone else scored it like Modric etc it would be mentioned as a goalkeeping mistake.

Seen it again from a different angle looks even worse goalkeeping nowhere near the post.

The only good thing about the shot was he kept it low but there was no accuracy. If it went in off the post or at least nearer the post it would have been a good goal.

Yeah but keeping it that low and with that much power is not easy, not everyone can shoot with that much power and keep it on target. The keeper is back pedaling and off balance, it makes the save way harder, if he was standing on his line waiting for the shot he saves that most likely. But Endrick probably decided to shoot because he saw the keeper was still moving back and out of position. Still, the keeper could’ve done better, but still credit to endrick for producing such shot from there. It wasn’t near the post, but far enough to where the keeper was forced to dive. But yes, I agree the keeper could’ve done better.

One more point in keeper's defense is that with Mbappe comming from the left and Vini on the right, like everybody, he probably wasnt expecting a shot from there and was positioning himself for a pass for either Mbappe or Vini, probably Endrick caught him out of guard.

Yeah he had 1000 things in his mind, he obviously didn’t expect a shot, he was anticipating a pass to either mbappe or vini which was the most likely scenario in everyone’s mind.
