Harry Kane nets twice as Bayern Munich edge Flamengo 4-2 to reach Club World Cup quarter-finals

Harry Kane scored two goals to help Bayern Munich secure a 4-2 victory over Flamengo in the FIFA Club World Cup, advancing to the tournament’s quarter-finals.

The England captain opened the scoring with a stunning long-range strike, capitalizing on a turnover midway inside Flamengo’s half. Kane’s powerful shot from 23 yards, riding what appeared to be a foul, found the bottom corner. He added a second goal in the second half with a composed finish after a build-up involving Leon Goretzka.

Flamengo responded with goals from Gerson and a penalty converted by Jorginho, a former Chelsea and Arsenal midfielder. Despite their efforts, Bayern maintained dominance throughout the match.

Kane’s first goal of the game was a spectacular long-range shot.

Later, Kane doubled his tally with a powerful right-footed shot, sealing the victory.

Having scored 41 goals this season for Bayern, Kane was substituted in added time, narrowly missing a hat-trick but earning the Player of the Match award. Bayern will face Paris Saint-Germain in the next round, having beaten them four times consecutively in previous encounters. PSG, fresh from a 4-0 win over Inter Miami, will enter the match as favorites.

During post-match comments, Kane expressed readiness for the upcoming challenge, stating, “It’s going to be another tough game. We have the confidence from our previous wins and will prepare well for it.”
