Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain win at CWC
Updated / Sunday, 29 Jun 2025 23:57
Harry Kane's double helped Bayern Munich to a 4-2 win against Flamengo at the Club World Cup in Miami and set up a quarter-final clash with Paris St Germain.
The England captain scored Bayern's second and fourth goals against the Brazilians at the Hard Rock Stadium, with Erick Pulgar's own goal and Leon Goretzka's effort ensuring an all-European last-eight tie.
PSG had earlier showcased their European champions status by sweeping aside Inter Miami 4-0 at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta and they will face their German opponets at the same venue next Saturday.
Kane put Bayern 2-0 up inside the opening nine minutes in his side's first-ever competitive match against Flamengo, rifling home a low 25-yard shot via a deflection soon after defender Pulgar had headed a corner into his own net.
Brazil midfielder Gerson's first-half thunderbolt hauled Flamengo back into the clash, but Bayern regained their two-goal advantage after Leon Goretzka's swerving effort from outside the box.
Flamengo hit back again through Jorginho, who converted his first goal for the club since his recent arrival from Arsenal from the penalty spot, 10 minutes into the second half after Michael Olisse had handled.
Kane snuffed out Flamengo hopes with his second – his 41st goal for Bayern in all competitions this season – firing home a clinical low finish from Kimmich's pass into the box.
Paris Saint-Germain had earlier showcased their European champions status by sweeping aside Inter Miami 4-0 at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta and they will face their German opponents at the same venue next Saturday.
Luis Enrique's side turned in an impressive, dominant display against Lionel Messi's Miami, with Joao Neves' first-half brace putting them firmly in control.
Tomas Aviles' own goal and Achraf Hakimi's strike put the result beyond doubt before half-time.
Outclassed Miami, the last remaining MLS team in the competition, did not have a shot on target until Messi's effort was comfortably saved by Gianluigi Donnarumma in the 63rd minute.
Portugal midfielder Neves ghosted in at the far post to head home Vitinho's cross in the sixth minute and tapped home Fabian Ruiz's cross after Sergio Busquets had been dispossessed deep in his own half.
Miami centre-back Aviles diverted Desire Doue's cross into his own net and in first-half stoppage time Hakimi lashed home from inside the area after his initial effort had rebounded off the crossbar.

Colm Boyle: O'Shea masterclass as Kerry produce stunning second half performance
I wrote off Kerry last week and said David Clifford was the only chance they had of winning this game, but as it turned out we got a Sean O'Shea masterclass. O'Shea hit 12 points from play and set the tone right from the start with a couple of incredible scores that lifted his team. Kerry's second half was the best 35 minute performance by any team in this year's Championship. It was almost total football, not just in how good they were with the ball in hand, but the way they out fought Armagh and outwitted them on their own kickouts. While most of the focus will be on Sean O'Shea and David Clifford, who really kicked into gear in the second half, Kerry had very unlikely heroes in the midfield pair of Sean O'Brien and Mark O'Shea. They both put in huge shifts, as did Joe O'Connor around the middle third and Gavin White, who delivered one of his best performances in a Kerry jersey. When Armagh went five points up early in the second half, I thought Kerry were done. It looked like Armagh were going to cruise home in the second half but what Kerry produced after that was absolutely sensational, to score 14 points without reply. Armagh's kick out losses in the second half was into double digits. When they came under serious pressure, their decision making on their kickouts seemed very one dimensional and quite poor at times, which shows that even the best teams can collapse under pressure with the new kickout rule. Despite trailing by a point at half-time, I thought Kerry looked the better team with that man Sean O'Shea really leading the charge. For Kerry to win the game, I felt they needed to start well and be in the game at half-time and O'Shea was a huge reason why they were. Their response to conceding a very soft goal was also hugely impressive. They had it wiped out in two minutes with Sean O'Shea getting a two pointer and a one. That showed a steeliness and a resolve that probably I and others throughout the country had doubted leading into this game. Armagh just didn't seem to cope well with the expectancy of coming into this game as All-Ireland champions against the Kerry underdog. The most surprising aspect was how they lost control of that game and an area everyone thought they were so strong in, that middle eight. Both their midfielders were removed in the second half - Niall Grimley and Ben Crealey. And at times it was Oisin Conaty almost forging a furrow up front alone as he continued his almost Player of the Year form. He was absolutely brilliant. For Kerry to win this game without a fully fit Paudie Clifford, Paul Geaney not seeing game time, Diarmuid O'Connor out with injury, Tom O'Sullivan hobbling off after 20 minutes - and also missing Mike Breen, Tadhg Morely and Tony Brosnan - is a serious testament to them. If they can get a couple of them back for the semi-final against Tyrone, they are going to be in a really good place. Meath produced the shock of the round against Galway. This was a result I just didn't see as possible, even though they'd beaten both Dublin and Kerry in this year's Championship I thought the road Galway have been on over the last couple of weeks in particular, and the last couple of years, would have stood to them coming into yesterday's game. Padraic Joyce will be shocked at how poor his team was and some of the basic errors they made in the game. This was a very strange match. The first half was of a shockingly poor standard and Galway probably undeservedly went in at half-time one point up. I felt at half time that Galway would come out and blow Meath away in the second half, but it just never materialised and the longer Meath were in the game, the more they grew in confidence. In Jordan Morris they had the outstanding footballer on the pitch. When Conor Gray goaled in the 52nd minute, which was followed quickly by a Morris point to put Meath six up, that shocked Galway into life. And in the space of seven minutes, Galway went from six down to three up after goals from Cillian McDaid and Liam Silke. It looked like Galway were going to survive, like they did in Celtic Park against Derry and in Breffni Park against Armagh. But an incredible turnover by Morris on Johnny McGrath a couple of minutes later led to Morris palming the ball to the back of the net and Meath all of a sudden gained control again. Padraic Joyce will be really disappointed with his team, that they could not see this game out after Silke's goal. But the story of this game is Meath and what a performance it was by them in the last 20 minutes. A dramatic ending to the game did have a slightly farcical side to it with Meath slowing down the play and wasting enough time for Eoghan Frayne to kick the ball out over the endline, while they were waiting for the hooter. I hope they get rid of the hooter next year. I think it's just too easy for players to run down the cloak and play keep ball for the last two minutes. At least in injury time you are not sure if it's the last play of the game if it's in the referee's control. Anyway, Meath shouldn't have any fear whatsoever of Donegal, but Jim McGuinness will be absolutely delighted to avoid Kerry in what has been an unpredictable championship so far, so who knows what could happen from here on it? Dublin's All-Ireland quarter final defeat by Galway last year shocked the country, but this year's quarter final loss to Tyrone wouldn't have surprised too many. While I did fancy the Dubs to just about get the job done, the loss of Con O'Callaghan for most of the game proved decisive. I was surprised how much the O'Callaghan no-show against Cork was played down by various media outlets during the week. Dessie Farrell played it down in the aftermath of the Cork win, stating that he didn't feel the game needed O'Callaghan's introduction, despite it being level with 10 minutes to go. In hindsight it was a huge signal that he was struggling badly. I'd imagine Malachy O'Rourke would have been expecting O'Callaghan in from the off, but the fact he didn't even take part in the Dublin warm up would have been a huge boost from his Tyrone team. All of a sudden there was very little to fear for his team. That said, I thought Dublin played some great football in the first half playing into a tricky breeze into the hill. They went in at half time a point down but actually outscored Tyrone 10 score to 7. Crucially, Tyrone hit four brilliant two pointers in the first half, something which has been an Achilles heel for Dublin in this year's Championship. Dublin had the lowest number of orange flags of all eight teams going into this weekend - and again failed to raise an orange flag on Saturday. The second half was almost a replica of the Armagh game a couple of weeks ago. Dublin's radar was completely off. In total they had 16 scores from 35 shots, which ironically was the exact same as Monaghan had against Donegal in the earlier game. When Eoin McElholm lined up Ciaran Kilkenny and breezed past him to put Tyrone two points up coming down the stretch it felt like a huge moment. For a young player to show so much confidence in a critical moment was incredible. Tyrone smelt blood after that, kicked on for home and outscored Dublin by six points to one in this period. For Tyrone it's a brilliant win but I think O'Rourke will feel there's another gear in his team ahead of the All-Ireland semi-final, which is an ideal scenario for his team to be in. Dessie Farrell didn't hang around in announcing his departure as Dublin manager in the aftermath, which wasn't a surprise after six years in charge. Who will replace him will be interesting but there is no doubt there will be an uncomfortable few weeks ahead for Louth as I expect Ger Brennan to be heavily linked to the job. Whoever the next Dublin manager is, he'll face big questions straight away about his veterans. If Stephen Cluxton does finally call a day, it will be off the back of an incredible season for him. He was completely written off after the defeat to Meath in the Leinster semi-final. We all thought that at his age the new kick out rule was one step too far for him. But he returned to have a brilliant game in Dublin's victory in Salthill against Galway and had an incredible 90percent retention rate back to back against Derry and Cork, before signing off for this season with 77percent retention against Tyrone An interesting few months await for Dublin. From looking like they were in serious trouble at half-time, Donegal went on to produce their best 35 minutes of football in Croke Park since Jim McGuinness returned at the helm. They wiped out Monaghan's seven point lead in the space of 17 minutes and once Michael Murphy drew them level with a free in the 52nd minute, there was only ever going to be one winner. Monaghan will look at some very poor decisions in front of goal, especially in the second half and it sucked the life out of their general play. The more Monaghan suffered in front of the posts, the more energy Donegal seemed to have and their direct, hard running at Monaghan in the second half often from turnovers or shots that dropped short had the Farney men in all sorts of trouble. Ryan McAnespie's injury at the start of the second half was a huge blow to Monaghan after a monster of a first half from him. The sight of Conor McCarthy hopping off at a time when Donegal had serious momentum was a clear sign it was going to be Donegal's day. Jason McGee and Paddy McBrearty in particular gave Donegal a huge impact off the bench and both were hugely influential in the closing stages.

UEFA delay ruling on Crystal Palace Europa eligibilty
UEFA has postponed a decision on whether or not to admit Crystal Palace into next season's Europa League. Palace thought they had secured a place in Europe's second-tier club competition thanks to their FA Cup final win over Manchester City in May but uncertainty arose as to whether they would be allowed to enter due to UEFA's multi-club ownership rules. Outgoing Palace shareholder John Textor has an interest in French club Lyon, who qualified for the same competition. UEFA announced on Monday it needed more time to make a ruling and said Lyon had reached a settlement which would exclude them from European competition next season if a decision to relegate them to the French second tier was upheld. That relegation is the subject of an appeal by the French club. The delay on the Palace decision comes after UEFA confirmed the exclusion of Drogheda United from the Conference League due to a conflict with the multi-club ownership rules, with the club's owners the Trivela Group also owning Danish side Silkeborg who will enter the competition. In a statement, UEFA reiterated Drogheda's exclusion from the competition along with that of Slovakian team Dunajska Streda, who have the same owners as Hungarian side Gyori ETO, who will compete in the Conference League.
