Club World Cup: Kane double sends Bayern into quarters

By AFP



The German champions looked like they would completely dominate the match, but the three-time Copa Libertadores champions fought back.

Luiz Araujo forced Manuel Neuer into a save with a powerful shot and the winger then almost scored again with a shot that went just wide.

Flamengo's efforts finally paid off in the 33rd minute, when the dangerous Araujo cut in from the left, before finding Gerson who fired a powerful shot past Neuer to the cheers of some 60,914 fans.

But all the efforts of the Rio team were extinguished four minutes before the break, when Araujo played a weak pass straight to the feet of Leon Goretzka, who calmly controlled the ball and slotted home from over 20 yards to put Bayern back in a comfortable 3-1 lead.

Flamengo once again tried to recover as soon as the second half started and managed to close the gap in the 55th minute when Michael Olise caught Giorgian de Arrascaeta's cross with his hand.

Former Chelsea midfielder Jorginho didn't waste the opportunity when he calmly converted the penalty kick.

But despite Flamengo playing with energy, they lacked composure and quality in the final attack – something that Bayern did not have.

The match was finally decided in the 73rd minute when Konrad Laimer won the ball in the middle of the field, then passed it to Kimmich who in turn passed it to Kane.

The England striker unleashed a powerful shot, beating Agustin Rossi in style for Bayern's fourth.
