Harry Kane delivered a stellar performance, scoring twice, as Bayern Munich secured a 4-2 victory over Flamengo in the FIFA Club World Cup Round of 16. The match, held on June 29, 2025, at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, saw the German champions advance to the quarter-finals, where they will face Paris Saint-Germain.

Bayern Munich started strong, taking an early lead when Erick Pulgar inadvertently deflected Joshua Kimmich's corner into his own net. Shortly after, Harry Kane extended Bayern's advantage with a left-footed shot from the edge of the box, aided by a slight deflection. Flamengo responded with a powerful strike from Gerson, reducing the deficit. However, Bayern quickly restored their two-goal lead before halftime, thanks to a fine curling shot from Leon Goretzka.

In the second half, Flamengo fought back, earning a penalty after a handball by Michael Olise. Jorginho converted the penalty, bringing the score to 3-2. Despite the Rio giants' efforts, Bayern maintained control, and Kane sealed the victory with a low, curling shot from 20 yards out.

Throughout the match, Bayern Munich showcased their squad depth and quality. Manuel Neuer started in goal, with a back four consisting of Konrad Laimer, Dayot Upamecano, Jonathan Tah, and Josip Stanišić. The midfield was anchored by Joshua Kimmich and Leon Goretzka, with Michael Olise, Serge Gnabry, and Kingsley Coman providing attacking support. Harry Kane led the line.

Flamengo, who had a strong run in Group D with two wins and a draw, proved a worthy opponent. However, Bayern's early dominance and Kane's clinical finishing ultimately proved decisive.

The upcoming quarter-final clash between Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain is a repeat of the 2020 UEFA Champions League final, which Bayern won 1-0. The match is scheduled to take place next Saturday in Atlanta and is highly anticipated as a potential highlight of the tournament.
