Bayern punish Flamengo's errors to book quarter-final clash with PSG
Bayern Munich booked their place in the Club World Cup quarter-finals with a clinical 4-2 win over Flamengo at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami. The Brazilian side couldn't have asked for a worse beginning. Just six minutes in, a mix-up from a Joshua Kimmich corner saw Erick Pulgar awkwardly turn the ball into his own net. Advertisement Only moments later, Giorgian De Arrascaeta lost possession in his own half, and Harry Kane as composed as ever, pounced. The English striker drove his effort off the post and in - 2-0 before the clock had even reached ten minutes. Shell-shocked but not surrendering, Flamengo managed to settle somewhat. Their efforts were rewarded on 33 minutes when Gerson hammered a loose ball into the roof of Manuel Neuer's net after Luiz Araújo's low cross caused chaos in the Bayern box. It felt like a lifeline. It wasn't. Minutes before the break, Flamengo committed another grave error trying to clear their lines. The ball landed at Leon Goretzka's feet and the German international unleashed a thunderbolt from outside the box to restore Bayern's two-goal cushion. At 3-1, the game looked as good as done, but Flamengo weren't finished yet. The second half began with renewed energy from the Rubro-Negro, and they found a way back into the game. With 53 minutes on the clock, a cross struck Michael Olise's arm in the box. Jorginho stepped up and calmly sent Neuer the wrong way. Advertisement In the 73rd minute, another reckless mistake - this time Luiz Araújo losing the ball while trying to dribble out, allowed Konrad Laimer to feed Kimmich, who slid a pass through to Kane. Left completely unmarked, the Englishman slotted home his second of the night, and Bayern's fourth. From that point on, Bayern expertly managed the game. Even with Flamengo making attacking changes, the German side never really looked threatened again. Flamengo showed plenty of fight and flair, but against a side as ruthless as Bayern, the margin for error is razor thin. The Germans march on to the quarter-finals with eyes now on PSG, who had earlier dispatched Inter Miami 4-0.

The 3️⃣ key players in the Flamengo v Bayern Munich clash
Bayern Munich showed its title contender credentials at the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup and eliminated Flamengo in a thrilling round of 16 matchup. Sign up for DAZN to watch ALL FIFA Club World Cup matches for FREE Advertisement The team led by Vincent Kompany quickly gained the upper hand and was able to manage their efforts in the match, controlling it even when it seemed that Flamengo, with plenty of talent, could complicate things. They struck at the right moments and deservedly won. These were the 3️⃣ protagonists of the duel between Flamengo and Bayern Munich. Erick Pulgar The Chilean midfielder was a protagonist, but for all the wrong reasons. He headed a corner kick into his own goalpost, and later didn't play well, having the bad luck of deflecting Leon Goretzka's shot that became Bayern's third goal. He also kicked Harry Kane, injuring his own foot in the process. He was substituted before halftime. Manuel Neuer The German goalkeeper once again made key saves and played with enormous security at the back of the team, playing as a sweeper when the play required it. Harry Kane In the first half, Harry Kane scored with his left foot, his 'bad' foot, from outside the box, and a slight deflection put the shot on target. It was the English striker's 40th goal of the 2024/25 season. Advertisement Later, in the second half, when Flamengo was pushing, he received the ball near the opponent's goal, where he rarely fails. This time he scored with his right foot, and it was his 41st goal. A brace and a standout performance. This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.

Harry Kane scores twice as Bayern Munich beats Flamengo 4-2 to advance in Club World Cup
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 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.

Kane double fires Bayern into Club World Cup last eight
Harry Kane scored twice for Bayern Munich in their victory over Flamengo which secured them a place in the Club World Cup quarter-finals (PATRICIA DE MELO MOREIRA) Harry Kane scored twice as Bayern Munich overcame determined resistance from Flamengo to book their place in the Club World Cup quarter-finals with an entertaining 4-2 victory on Sunday. Vincent Kompany's side will now play European champions Paris Saint-Germain in Atlanta on Saturday for a place in the last four. Advertisement Flamengo, backed by a huge and passionate following at Hard Rock Stadium, bow out of the tournament despite a performance of real determination from Filipe Luis's team. It took just six minutes for Bayern to grab the lead when Joshua Kimmich whipped in a corner and Flamengo defender Erick Pulgar's header flashed into his own net off the far post. Four minutes later and Bayern had doubled their advantage. Dayot Upamecano won the ball inside Flamengo's half and fed Harry Kane whose low shot deflected off Leo Ortiz and rattled into the bottom corner. The German champions looked like they were going to run away with the game but the three-times Copa Libertadores champions were able to find a foothold in the game. Advertisement Luiz Araujo forced Manuel Neuer into action with a dangerous snap shot and then the winger went close again with a shot on the turn which flew just wide of the post. Flamengo were rewarded for their efforts in the 33rd minute when after the dangerous Araujo played the ball in from the left, the ball fell to Gerson who unleashed a thunderbolt which rocketed past Neuer to bring the bulk of the 60,914 crowd to their feet. But all that good work from the Rio team was undone four minutes before the break when Araujo's poor clearance landed straight at the feet of Leon Goretzka who had the time and space to settle himself before, from over 20 yards out, placing his shot into the corner to make it 3-1. Flamengo came out determined to respond once again and they reduced the deficit again in the 55th minute when Michael Olise handled a cross from Giorgian de Arrascaeta at close range. Advertisement It was the kind of tough call that has become normal in the modern game and former Chelsea midfielder Jorginho took advantage of the opportunity with an ice-cool conversion. But for all Flamengo's energy, they lacked composure and quality at key moments in the final third -- something that could never be said about Bayern. The contest was finally settled in the 73rd minute when Konrad Laimer won the ball in midfield and fed Kimmich who in turn slipped the ball through to Kane who confidently beat Agustin Rossi with one of his trademark precision and power drives. sev/mw
