Bayern Munich advanced to the Club World Cup quarterfinals with a 4-2 victory over Flamengo at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens on Sunday, powered by Harry Kane's two goals. The German champions bounced back from their only tournament loss against Benfica last week to set up a quarterfinal clash with Paris Saint-Germain in Atlanta.Bayern Munich took control early when Flamengo's Erick Pulgar headed the ball into his own net from Joshua Kimmich's corner in the sixth minute. Kane extended the lead with a deflected strike three minutes later.Flamengo showed signs of life when Gerson beat Manuel Neuer in the 32nd minute to reduce the deficit, but Leon Goretzka restored Bayern's two-goal advantage shortly after.The Brazilian club continued to press, with Luiz Araújo forcing a spectacular save from Neuer in their best chance of the first half. Kane later scored his second goal on an assist from Kimmich, beating goalkeeper Agustín Rossi.
Jorginho converted a penalty in the 54th minute to bring Flamengo within one goal at 3-2, but Kane sealed the victory with his third tournament goal in the 73rd minute.The match drew a near-capacity crowd at the 65,000-seat Hard Rock Stadium, with many spectators wearing Flamengo's black and red colors.The victory ensures at least four European clubs will advance to the quarterfinals and sets up a rematch of the 2020 Champions League final, which Bayern won 1-0 against PSG.
"I know a lot of my game is judged on goals and I've been doing it throughout my career, but what maybe some of the German fans and some of the Bayern fans are realizing is that I'll do anything for the team to help us win," Kane said."We had our opportunities, but unfortunately they were the superior team in this fixture. The corner kick at the beginning of the match sort of took down our confidence a little bit," Flamengo coach Filipe Luis said through an interpreter.The match against PSG comes after the French champions defeated Lionel Messi and Inter Miami 4-0 in an earlier Sunday match.
