Endrick made it five goals in five games with a stunning strike as Lyon beat Laval 2-0 to reach the Coupe de France quarterfinals on Wednesday.
The Brazil striker picked up a loose ball near the penalty area following a driving run from midfielder Pavel Sulc, skipped effortlessly past one defender and unleashed a powerful left-footed shot into the top left corner to open the scoring in the 80th minute.

The 19-year-old Endrick is on loan from Real Madrid until the end of the season after deciding he needed more games in view of the World Cup later this year. Brazil is coached by Carlo Ancelotti, who was Endrick’s coach during his breakthrough at Madrid last season.
Lyon’s second goal against second-tier strugglers Lorient came courtesy of an own goal in stoppage time.
