Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain win at CWC
Updated / Sunday, 29 Jun 2025 23:57 Harry Kane's double helped Bayern Munich to a 4-2 win against Flamengo at the Club World Cup in Miami and set up a quarter-final clash with Paris St Germain. The England captain scored Bayern's second and fourth goals against the Brazilians at the Hard Rock Stadium, with Erick Pulgar's own goal and Leon Goretzka's effort ensuring an all-European last-eight tie. PSG had earlier showcased their European champions status by sweeping aside Inter Miami 4-0 at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta and they will face their German opponets at the same venue next Saturday. Kane put Bayern 2-0 up inside the opening nine minutes in his side's first-ever competitive match against Flamengo, rifling home a low 25-yard shot via a deflection soon after defender Pulgar had headed a corner into his own net. Brazil midfielder Gerson's first-half thunderbolt hauled Flamengo back into the clash, but Bayern regained their two-goal advantage after Leon Goretzka's swerving effort from outside the box. Flamengo hit back again through Jorginho, who converted his first goal for the club since his recent arrival from Arsenal from the penalty spot, 10 minutes into the second half after Michael Olisse had handled. Kane snuffed out Flamengo hopes with his second – his 41st goal for Bayern in all competitions this season – firing home a clinical low finish from Kimmich's pass into the box. Paris Saint-Germain had earlier showcased their European champions status by sweeping aside Inter Miami 4-0 at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta and they will face their German opponents at the same venue next Saturday. Luis Enrique's side turned in an impressive, dominant display against Lionel Messi's Miami, with Joao Neves' first-half brace putting them firmly in control. Tomas Aviles' own goal and Achraf Hakimi's strike put the result beyond doubt before half-time. Outclassed Miami, the last remaining MLS team in the competition, did not have a shot on target until Messi's effort was comfortably saved by Gianluigi Donnarumma in the 63rd minute. Portugal midfielder Neves ghosted in at the far post to head home Vitinho's cross in the sixth minute and tapped home Fabian Ruiz's cross after Sergio Busquets had been dispossessed deep in his own half. Miami centre-back Aviles diverted Desire Doue's cross into his own net and in first-half stoppage time Hakimi lashed home from inside the area after his initial effort had rebounded off the crossbar.
