Kane Leads Bayern Past Flamengo as PSG Awaits in Club World Cup Clash

Bayern Munich surged past Flamengo with a 4-2 victory in the Club World Cup clash in Miami, courtesy of a remarkable performance by Harry Kane, who scored twice, according to Sky Sports.

The England captain found the net for Bayern's second and fourth goals at the Hard Rock Stadium, while an Erick Pulgar own goal and a strike from Leon Goretzka further cemented the German side's win.

With this success, an all-European quarter-final showdown is set against Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), who earlier showcased their prowess by defeating Inter Miami 4-0, confirming their prowess as European champions.

Bayern swiftly advanced to a 2-0 lead within the first ten minutes of their inaugural competitive meeting with Flamengo, although the Brazilian side narrowed the difference with a powerful strike by Gerson.

Leon Goretzka then reestablished Bayern's two-goal lead with an impressive shot, while a penalty conversion by Jorginho temporarily revived Flamengo's hopes before Kane concluded the scoring.

Joshua Kimmich's precise assist allowed Kane to finish smoothly inside the box, raising Kane's total to 41 goals this season. In contrast, PSG's decisive triumph against Inter Miami at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium displayed their supremacy.

Joao Neves scored twice, joined by an own goal from Tomas Aviles and an effort from Achraf Hakimi before halftime, sealing PSG's comprehensive win.

Inter Miami struggled to challenge PSG's defense, with Lionel Messi's singular attempt saved by Gianluigi Donnarumma.

Joao Neves initiated the scoring with a sixth-minute header and soon secured his second goal after dispossessing Sergio Busquets. Aviles inadvertently scored an own goal, and Hakimi completed the first-half onslaught after rebounding off the crossbar.

Bayern is now set to confront PSG in the quarter-final at the same Miami venue next Saturday, ensuring an electrifying encounter between two elite European teams.
