Harry Kane stars as Bayern Munich advance past Flamengo
Harry Kane scored his second and third goals of the FIFA Club World Cup to power Bayern Munich into the quarterfinals with a 4-2 victory over Flamengo in an entertaining Round of 16 clash on Sunday in Miami Gardens, Fla.
Bayern also scored through an early own goal and through Leon Goretzka just before halftime to seal a meeting with reigning UEFA Champions League winners Paris Saint-Germain, who defeated Inter Miami 4-0 earlier Sunday.
In their most recent meeting, Bayern defeated PSG 1-0 in Munich in the UCL league phase back on Nov. 26.
Gerson and Jorginho scored for Flamengo, which became the second of four Brazilian teams eliminated after Botafogo lost in extra time to domestic rivals Palmeiras on Saturday.
After defeating Chelsea 3-1 in Group D play, the Rio de Janeiro side were resilient after going behind by two early.
But Kane's second goal in the 73rd minute ultimately sealed Bayern's passage and Flamengo's first defeat in 11 matches across all competitions.
Joshua Kimmich fed Kane just above the penalty arc following a sloppy Flamengo giveaway. The Englishman turned slickly, then fired a low, right-footed effort into the bottom right corner for his 41st goal in all club competitions this season.
An early second-half penalty brought Flamengo back into the game.
Referee Michael Oliver pointed immediately to the spot after a Flamengo cross from the right struck Michael Olise's outstretched arm.
Jorginho powered in a confident penalty to rouse the majority of the crowd supporting one of Brazil's most decorated clubs.
Bayern started brightly and were quickly 2-0 in front.
In the sixth minute, Kimmich's in-swinging corner from the right skimmed off the head of defender Erick Pulgar, who couldn't get high enough in traffic to clear the ball and instead redirected accidentally inside the far post.
Three minutes later, Dayot Upamecano's excellent challenge forced Giorgian de Arrascaeta into a turnover. Kane picked up the ball, drove briefly toward goal then unleashed a low shot from 22 yards that took a deflection on its way into the bottom left corner.
Flamengo responded in the 33rd minute, with Gerson reaching Luiz Araujo's layoff and powering a first-time half volley past Manuel Neuer.
But Goretzka restored Bayern's two-goal advantage eight minutes later when he guided his finish from beyond the box through traffic into the bottom left corner.

How to watch Manchester City vs Al Hilal live: Stream link, TV channel, team news, prediction
Manchester City face Al Hilal in the last 16 of the FIFA Club World Cup in Orlando on Monday, and Pep Guardiola's side have shown signs things are starting to click back into place. MORE — Prize money list for Club World Cup Advertisement They hammered Juventus 5-2 in their group stage finale to finish top of the group and put themselves on a more favorable side of the knockout bracket. New signings Rayan Ait-Nouri, Rayan Cherki and Tijjani Reijnders have all looked really sharp, while Erling Haaland is scoring goals and City have so many options in midfield and attack. MORE — Club World Cup schedule, dates, how to watch info Al Hilal have some big-name players in Kalidou Koulibaly, Yassine Bono, Ruben Neves, Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, Aleksandar Mitrovic, Joao Cancelo and Salem Aldasawri. They also have a big-name coach in Simone Inzaghi, who left Inter Milan earlier this month to take over at the Saudi giants. The Saudi Pro League side finished runners up last season and are the most successful team in Saudi Arabian history. Inzaghi is expected to win plenty of trophies over the next few years and a shock win against City will kick-start his project. How to watch Manchester City vs Al Hilal live, stream link and start time Kick off time: 9pm ET Monday (June 30) Venue: Camping World Stadium, Orlando TV Channel/Streaming: Stream every game live on DAZN, for free Manchester City team news, focus This should be pretty straightforward for City, especially with so many attacking talents flourishing so far in this tournament. The likes of Phil Foden and Jeremy Doku have been excellent, while all of their new signings are showing they are ready to make a big impact right away. Defensively there are still a few concerns but City have their swagger back and against Juventus we saw how they can blow teams away when they're feeling it like this. Al Hilal team news, focus After drawing against Real Madrid in their group stage opener, Al Hilal have continued to be really tough to play against and have conceded just one goal so far. Inzaghi has come straight in and made his mark and Al Hilal will look to frustrate City and then launch rapid counters. They have so much individual quality and have a nice balance about them with Ruben Neves pulling the strings in midfield. Star striker Aleksandar Mitrovic is still missing for Al Hilal, but Brazilian forwards Leonardo and Malcom will cause plenty of problems. Manchester City vs Al Hilal prediction This first half is going to be really interesting to see if City can remain patient, but they should take care of business with minimum fuss. Manchester City 3-1 Al Hilal.

Goldbridge: Chelsea show ambition while others hesitate again
Chelsea Sign Pedro: Ruthless Efficiency Marks Bold New Era Chelsea's Speed Stuns Premier League Rivals In a blistering move that shocked many, Chelsea have officially signed João Pedro from Brighton in what Mark Goldbridge described as 'efficient' and 'dangerous' business on the That's Football Podcast. As Goldbridge opened the show, 'You've got to take your hats off if you're wearing one… in credit to Chelsea who basically just signed João Pedro from Brighton.' The transfer, reportedly worth over £50 million, showcases Chelsea's relentless ambition to return to the top of English football. With personal terms already agreed and a seven-year contract on the table, the Brazilian is headed straight to join the squad for the FIFA Club World Cup after his medical. Photo: IMAGO Advertisement 'Only wanted Chelsea,' Goldbridge repeated more than once, pointing out Pedro's clear intent despite Newcastle's determined efforts. The signing reflects a broader pattern in the Premier League, where elite clubs now strike swiftly and decisively in the market. 'It's a new wave of efficiency,' Goldbridge noted, contrasting it with Manchester United's 'five weeks' of stalled talks over Bryan Mbeumo. Photo: IMAGO Newcastle Frustrated as Chelsea Pounce Newcastle United, a club with Champions League aspirations, has once again missed out on a key target. 'Newcastle will be left licking their wounds again,' Goldbridge said, naming João Pedro alongside Anthony Elanga and Bryan Mbeumo as examples of players who have slipped through the club's fingers. Advertisement Despite their status and upward trajectory, Newcastle were simply outmatched. 'These players want to stay or go to other clubs or they're priced out of it,' Goldbridge lamented, suggesting that Chelsea's appeal and agility in negotiations leave little room for other clubs to manoeuvre. The contrast in strategy and execution couldn't be starker. 'Chelsea in a space of a day go in and give Brighton what they want because they want to get the deal done quick,' Goldbridge explained. 'You snooze, you lose.' Long-Term Vision or Overcrowded Frontline? Chelsea's recruitment of Pedro fits neatly into their broader approach of signing young talents to long-term deals. But is it sustainable? Goldbridge raised valid questions: 'Why is it always long contracts for players 23 or under?' He continued, 'When does this come to fruition?' Photo by IMAGO Advertisement The club's forward line is now densely packed. Goldbridge rattled off names including 'João Pedro, Jackson, Cole Palmer, Enkunku, Madueke, Estêvão, Gittens, Netto, Delap,' asking, 'How is this going to fit in?' Photo IMAGO While Chelsea's ambition is unquestionable, the sheer volume of attacking players could create congestion. 'It could be a little bit hectic,' he observed. 'It is very much driven on young players.' Short-Term Questions, Long-Term Threat Despite the fanfare, Goldbridge remains cautious about Chelsea's immediate impact. 'I think Chelsea will be good enough for top four next season,' he predicted, 'but I don't think they're going to be in a title race.' Advertisement He noted the lack of experience in the squad: 'What they lack in experience on the pitch, they do not lack in experience when it comes to transfers.' This duality underscores Chelsea's gamble — youthful exuberance with the backing of a machine-like recruitment team. Drawing on historical parallels, Goldbridge referenced Manchester United's class of '92 but pointed out, 'We weren't full of kids. You still had Peter Schmeichel in goal, Roy Keane in midfield, Eric Cantona up front.' Still, the verdict is clear: Chelsea are a threat. 'They're dangerous to the rest of the Premier League,' he said flatly. And in a summer already marked by transfer chaos elsewhere, their clarity of purpose could be decisive.
