I am seeing some weird behavior where the function call just returns to the calling function that too in the basic console app env – .net 8 using vs2022

the output of the code is
send1
main return

it skips –
send1.2 or exception
finally
send1 returned

any clues ?

public static async Task<int> Main(string[] args)
{
    var url = "https://www.google.com";
    send1(url);
    Console.Writeline("main return");
    return 1;
}

static void send1(string url)
{
  try
  {
     using (HttpClient cli = new HttpClient())
     {
       cli.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Clear();

       dbg("send1");
       HttpResponseMessage response1 = await cli.GetAsync(url);
       dbg("send1.2");
     }
  }
  catch(Exception ex)
  {
    Console.Writeline(ex.ToString());
  }
  finally
  {
    Console.Writeline("finally");
  }
    Console.Writeline("send1 returned");
}
