Bayern Munich triumphed over Flamengo 4-2 in the FIFA Club World Cup, propelled by Harry Kane's brace. The German side took an early 2-0 lead, but Flamengo fought back through Gerson's goal. Despite a spirited performance from Flamengo, including a penalty conversion by Jorginho, Bayern's Leon Goretzka restored a buffer before Kane's second goal secured their advancement. Kane praised his team's resilience against a formidable opponent and challenging atmosphere, acknowledging key moments that could have shifted the match's outcome. The win sets Bayern up for a challenging quarter-final against PSG in Atlanta.
It was a really tough game, tough opponent and difficult conditions. I thought we played really well for large spells of the game, but every time we went two goals up they scored. The last goal eased the nerves a bit and we were able to control the game.
Despite some nervy moments when it was 3-2 and things started to get scrappy with the amount of yellow cards that were being brandished, Bayern stayed composed.
