Harry Kane scores twice as Bayern Munich beats Flamengo 4-2 to advance in Club World Cup
MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — Harry Kane scored twice and Bayern Munich capitalized on a quick start to beat Flamengo 4-2 in the Club World Cup round of 16 on Sunday.
Germany's premier soccer club regrouped quickly from its only loss of the tournament last week against Benfica, jumping out to a 2-0 lead and then holding off Flamengo's comeback attempt to advance to the quarterfinals.
Bayern Munich will face Champions League winner Paris Saint-Germain on Saturday in Atlanta.
Kane's first goal was a deflected strike nine minutes in that made it 2-0, and the prolific goal scorer found the back of the net again on a feed from teammate Joshua Kimmich that he whipped past goalie Agustín Rossi.
The Bundesliga champion struck early when Flamengo star Erick Pulgar headed the ball into his own net off Joshua Kimmich's corner six minutes into the match.
Flamengo answered when Gerson fired a strike past Manuel Neuer in the 32nd to cut the deficit to a goal before Leon Goretzka put made it 3-1 at the half.
Flamengo pulled within a goal again in the second half when Jorginho scored on a penalty. Then came Kane again, finishing in the 73rd with his third goal of the tournament.
The 65,000-seat Hard Rock Stadium — home of the NFL's Miami Dolphins — has been one of the more well-attended venues of the tournament and was almost completely full Sunday, with many attendees wearing Flamengo's iconic black and red kit.
Key moment
Jorginho sent Neuer the wrong way on a penalty in the 54th to cut the deficit to 3-2 and give Flamengo life.
Takeaways
Bayern's win ensured that at least four European clubs will advance to the quarterfinals. It also set up a rematch of the 2020 UEFA Champions League final, as they'll face Paris Saint-Germain in the quarterfinal after the European Champion routed Lionel Messi and Inter Miami 4-0 earlier Sunday in Atlanta.

PSG 4-0 Inter Miami: Joao Neves hits a brace to set up blockbuster Bayern Munich Club World Cup quarter-final
Paris Saint-Germain have booked their place in the Club World Cup quarter-final thanks to a dominant win over Inter Miami. To the surprise of many, the Herons qualified for the last-16 despite being paired with Al Ahly, Porto and Palmeiras. However, letting a two-goal lead slip in the final group game against the Brazilian outfit ultimately proved costly. Advertisement Facing the best team in Europe proved to be a step too far for Lionel Messi and company as they bow out of the competition on the back of a heavy defeat. Even by the time Joao Neves had broken the deadlock after just six minutes, Oscar Ustari was forced into action as he made a fine save to keep out Bradley Barcola's effort. But the experienced goalkeeper could do nothing about the goal as the Portuguese midfielder was left unmarked at the back post and he headed home Vitinha's free-kick to give PSG a dream start. Inter Miami, somehow, escaped further punishment with half-time in sight but a devastating five-minute spell effectively ended the game as a contest. Advertisement Neves added his second with a simple tap-in, Tomas Aviles turned the ball into his own net and then Achraf Hakimi got in the act after seeing his initial effort come back off the crossbar. A combination of PSG dropping their level and the MLS side growing into the game made the second half a more even affair. Messi almost produced the assist of the tournament but Suarez, for once, wasn't on same wavelength as his good friend. Luis Enrique was able to give minutes to Ousmane Dembele on his return from injury and also experiment tactically in the knowledge that the Ligue 1 giants were never in danger of letting a commanding lead slip - even if Messi did his best to grab a consolation against his former club. PSG will be back in Atlanta next Saturday to face either Bayern Munich for a place in the Club World Cup semi-final.

10-man Real Madrid brush aside Pachuca to win first game under Xabi Alonso
Real Madrid survived an early red card scare to beat Pachuca 3-1 and register their first victory under Xabi Alonso at the Club World Cup. Los Blancos saw Raul Asencio dismissed on seven minutes after the centre-back hauled down Salomon Rondon as the Venezuelan was clean through on goal, and Asencio was given his marching orders by the referee. Advertisement However, their individual quality told, as Jude Bellingham, Arda Guler, and Federico Valverde all got on the scoresheet to tally Madrid's first three points of the inaugural summer tournament on a blistering afternoon in Charlotte, North Carolina. A crowd of over 70,000 packed into the Bank of America Stadium to catch a glimpse of the Galacticos, but they would have been stunned at the opening exchanges, as plucky Pachuca put Madrid on the back foot. Rondon, the former West Brom and Everton striker, was causing problems with his target man presence, occupying Dean Huijsen and Aurelien Tchouameni to create space for his tricky team-mates on the edge of the area. Thibaut Courtois was in inspired form for Madrid, producing a sublime double stop on 16 minutes to deny ex-Chelsea winger Kenedy and then Alan Bautista from close range as Alonso's men clung on to weather the storm. Advertisement However, in the game's first real flash of quality, Real came alive with some superb interplay between Fran and Gonzalo Garcia. The left-back started the move, finding the striker to feet before a neat flick around the corner from his namesake had him charging into the open grass down the left flank. Jude Bellingham bust a lung to get up with him in support, and the England international collected the pass with aplomb before slotting home beyond Carlos Moreno with 10 minutes of the first half to play. Just eight minutes later, it was two, as Trent Alexander-Arnold got involved. The right-back, so often the out-ball in this game, was picked out on the corner of the box, before he fed Garcia on the penalty spot. The striker set it for the onrushing Guler, who stroked home a second. The third took a while to come after the break, and that wasn't before John Kennedy, the Pachuca substitute, had peppered Courtois' goal with plentiful speculative strikes from distance that needed saving from the Belgian shot-stopper. Advertisement However, it was another masterful Madrid move that sealed the victory, as Vinicius burst down the left to hare after a Huijsen through ball. The Brazilian held up the play, awaiting support, which he received infield from Valverde. The Uruguyan looked wider to find Diaz, who clipped a cute ball into the box for Valverde to prod into the corner as the midfielder continued his scamper into the box. Elias Montiel netted a consolation for Jaime Lozano's Pachuca with a deflected effort with ten minutes to go, but it was too little, too late, as Madrid tallied a first victory under Alonso, and gather momentum for their final group game against RB Salzburg.

How to watch Real Madrid vs Juventus for FREE: TV channel and live stream for Club World Cup
Real Madrid and Juventus go head to head in the first Club World Cup knockout stage tonight to compete for a place in the quarter-finals. Los Blancos improved as the group stage went on, making amends for a draw against Al-Hilal in Xabi Alonso's first match in charge to knock three goals past each of Pachuca and RB Salzburg in their last two Group H outings. Advertisement The Bianconeri, meanwhile, won their first two matches in the US by a combined score of 9-1 but finished second in Group G after being handily beaten by Manchester City last Thursday. Kylian Mbappe is expected to return to Real's starting line-up having missed the group stage with a bout of gastroenteritis, which will be an unwelcome development for a Juve team that just shipped five goals in their last match. Vinicius Jr and Jude Bellingham are two more stars the Italian side will have to cope with, and Madrid have indeed exhibited threat from across the pitch so far in this tournament, with goal contributions from the likes of Federico Valverde and youngster Gonzalo Garcia. Igor Tudor drew criticism for his team selection against City, with the Juventus manager rotating several key men - including star forward Kenan Yildiz - onto the bench. Advertisement The Croatian manager is unlikely to make the same mistake twice as he looks to test Real's new-look backline, which has featured ex-Premier League duo Dean Huijsen and Trent Alexander-Arnold in each match so far in this tournament. Real centre-back Eder Militao could also make his long-awaited return from injury, according to reports from Spain, but the Brazilian may do so from the bench given he has not played since tearing his ACL in November. The winner of this heavyweight clash - which kicks off at Miami's Hard Rock Stadium at 8pm BST on Tuesday - faces one of Borussia Dortmund and Monterrey on Saturday, with a potential semi-final showdown against either PSG or Bayern Munich to follow on that side of the bracket. Where to watch Real Madrid vs Juventus Live stream: Viewers can watch the action live online via the DAZN website, which is free with a registration.
