Club World Cup: Bayern Defeats Flamengo with Harry Kane’s Help | The Germans triumphed 4-2 over the Brazilians, scoring twice with their star striker.

With two goals from Harry Kane, Bayern Munich overcame Flamengo and qualified for the quarter-finals of the Club World Cup, where they will face PSG, winners against Inter Miami. In addition to their striker’s goals, the other German scores came from Erick Pulgar (own goal) and Leon Goretzka. For the Brazilians, Gerson and Jorginho scored from a penalty.

It seemed like everything would be very easy for Bayern, as they were already leading 2-0 before the 10-minute mark. A corner poorly cleared by Erick Pulgar led to the first goal, and three minutes later, Harry Kane increased the lead with a shot from outside the box that went in next to the right post of Agustín Rossi.

Despite the disadvantage, Flamengo did not panic, improved their performance, and found a deserved goal to reduce the deficit, thanks to a powerful shot from Gerson just inside the box. But just when it seemed they could level the game, the Germans responded with a well-placed shot from Goretzka, which deceived Rossi and made it 3-1 just before half-time.

Once again, it seemed the match was resolved. But just when it didn’t seem possible, a handball from Olise revived Flamengo’s hopes, as Jorginho executed the penalty with class and made it 3-2 with over half an hour left to play. It was time for the Brazilians to push for the equalizer, despite Bayern’s solidity. However, the score changed from the other side, as the Germans combined for a perfect play: Laimer pressured and stole the ball, Kimmich assisted Kane, and the Englishman controlled and finished at the near post to seal the 4-2.
