Harry Kane scored twice as Bayern Munich tamed Flamengo 4-2 in a tense affair at the Hard Rock Stadium on Sunday to set up a much-anticipated all-European clash against Paris Saint-Germain at the Club World Cup.
Erick Pulgar’s own goal opened the scoring for Bayern and Leon Goretzka was also on target for German side, while Flamengo, who were defensively naive, twice reduced the arrears through Gerson and Jorginho.
Backed by raucous crowd, Flamengo played with aggression but Bayern converted all their shots on target and reaped the rewards of a fast start, scoring twice in the opening 10 minutes.
Earlier on Sunday, Champions League winners PSG sent a brutal reminder of their quality when they cruised past Inter Miami 4-0, taking their foot off the pedal after the break in what could have turned into a humiliation for Lionel Messi’s MLS team.
