Club World Cup 2025: Harry Kane scores twice as Bayern Munich beats Flamengo to enter quarterfinals
Germany's premier soccer club regrouped quickly from its only loss of the tournament last week against Benfica, jumping out to a 2-0 lead and then holding off Flamengo's comeback attempts to advance to the quarterfinals.
Bayern Munich will face Champions League winner Paris Saint-Germain on Saturday in Atlanta after PSG routed Lionel Messi and Inter Miami 4-0 earlier Sunday.
Kane's first goal was a deflected strike nine minutes into the match that put Bayern up by a pair of goals, and the prolific goal scorer found the back of the net again on a feed from Joshua Kimmich that he whipped past goalie Agustín Rossi.
The Bundesliga champion struck early when Flamengo star Erick Pulgar headed the ball into his own net off Kimmich's corner in the sixth.
Even though Flamengo had plenty of opportunities, the Brazilian club failed to capitalize on enough of them and never got closer than a goal.
Luiz Araújo had Flamengo's best chance of the first half with a left-footed shot toward the back post, but Manuel Neuer slid over and knocked the ball away for a brilliant save.
Gerson finally put Flamengo on the board when he beat Neuer in the 32nd to cut the 2-0 deficit in half before Leon Goretzka restored Bayern's two-goal lead.
Flamengo pulled within a goal again in the second half when Jorginho converted a penalty. Then came Kane again, finishing in the 73rd with his third goal of the tournament.
The 65,000-seat Hard Rock Stadium — home of the NFL's Miami Dolphins — has been one of the more well-attended venues of the tournament and was almost completely full on Sunday (June 29, 2025), with many attendees wearing Flamengo's iconic black and red kit.
Key moment
Jorginho sent Neuer the wrong way on a penalty in the 54th to cut the deficit to 3-2 and give Flamengo life before Kane put them away with his second goal.
Takeaways
Bayern's win ensured that at least four European clubs will advance to the quarterfinals. It also set up a rematch of the 2020 Champions League final that Bayern won 1-0.
What they said
"I know a lot of my game is judged on goals and I've been doing it throughout my career, but what maybe some of the German fans and some of the Bayern fans are realizing is that I'll do anything for the team to help us win." — Kane.
'We had our opportunities, but unfortunately they were the superior team in this fixture. ... The corner kick at the beginning of the match sort of took down our confidence a little bit.' — Flamengo coach Filipe Luis through an interpreter.

Serhou Guirassy Sends Borussia Dortmund Through Against Local Rival Essen In German Cup
Serhou Guirassy fired Borussia Dortmund into the second round of the German Cup with a 1-0 win at nearby Rot-Weiss Essen on Monday. But Dortmund's celebrations were muted by a bad tackle from Essen substitute Kelsey Owusu on Yan Couto in stoppage time, when he caught the wing back's knee with the sole of his boot. Couto was carried off on a stretcher with his hands over his face. Dortmund was already without injured defenders Niklas Süle, Nico Schlotterbeck and Emre Can. The team opens its Bundesliga campaign at St. Pauli on Saturday. Guinea star Guirassy took one touch to elude a defender and strike the ball on the turn into the bottom corner in the 79th minute. The goal came after Essen, the 1955 German champion playing in the third division, carved out a couple of half-chances in what was a meager game for goal opportunities. Dortmund's Julian Brand struck the side netting and fellow substitute Jobe Bellingham caused Essen's defense problems after their introduction in the 64th. It was Bellingham's first competitive appearance for Dortmund on German soil since his summer move from Sunderland. Dortmund coach Niko Kovač led Eintracht Frankfurt to the title in 2018 and repeated the feat with Bayern Munich the following year. Nadiem Adli's brilliant free kick was enough for Mainz to overcome Dynamo Dresden 1-0 earlier. The former Germany midfielder lifted the ball over the defensive wall and in off the left post in the 22nd minute, the only goal from a game in which second-division club Dresden missed more chances. Mainz coach Bo Henriksen was sent off late for holding onto the ball as the tension increased in a nervy finale. Sebastian Grönning scored the winning spot kick for Hertha Berlin to progress against second-division rival Prueßen Münster 5-3 on penalties after their game ended scoreless with extra time. The home team had by far the greater chances — 27 shots at goal compared to Hertha's 11 — but couldn't make any of them count. Also, Fortuna Düsseldorf won at third-division Schweinfurt 4-2. Defending champion Stuttgart and league champion Bayern had their cup games postponed because of their participation in the German Supercup on Saturday. Stuttgart begins its title defense at Eintracht Braunschweig on Aug. 26 with Bayern playing third-division side Wehen Wiesbaden the following day. There were few shocks in the first round with Werder Bremen the only Bundesliga team to be eliminated. Arminia Bielefeld, which knocked out a host of Bundesliga clubs including Bremen on its way to the final last season, provided one of the few upsets by knocking out Bremen again on Friday.

Nmecha's late penalty earns Leeds win over Everton in Premier League return
Leeds: Lukas Nmecha enjoyed a dream Leeds United debut as his late penalty helped the club began their 2025/26 Premier League campaign with a memorable 1-0 victory over Everton. Nmecha, who joined Daniel Farke's side on a free transfer in June after leaving Bundesliga club Wolfsburg, came off the bench to slot home from the spot in the 84th minute. Having won the Championship title with 100 points last season, Leeds played with a swagger at a buoyant Elland Road, but it looked like they would have to settle for a point as a stubborn Everton defence dug in. However, the decisive moment came when James Tarkowski was penalised for handball from Anton Stach's deflected drive, and Nmecha held his nerve to beat Jordan Pickford, Premier League reports. Nmecha became the first Leeds substitute to score on his Premier League debut since Alan Smith in November 1998, while he's the first player to score a penalty on his debut for the club in the competition. As Leeds United marked their return to the Premier League with a victory, the manager Daniel Farke was delighted with the Whites' performance. 'I think overall in a tight game, a hard-fought win but also a well-deserved win from my side,' Farke told the media. 'Outstanding performance. I think we were very dominant in the first half and had nearly 70 per cent possession, 12 shots already in the first half." 'I was a bit worried because especially as a newly promoted side, once you have such a dominant period, and it was more or less the whole first half that we dominated, normally you have to reward yourself also with the goal because at Premier League level one little moment can change your whole momentum," he added. While Leeds are up and running, Everton will approach their first Premier League game at Hill Dickinson Stadium on Sunday without a point to their name.

Neymar's Son Shares Touching Message After Star Breaks Down on Pitch: 'I Will Always...'
Neymar Jr's son Davi Lucca sent a heartwarming message after Santos' 0-6 loss to Vasco da Gama. Neymar Jr's son Davi Lucca has sent a heartwarming message as his chat with the Brazilian superstar has been revealed, after the Brazilian footballer left the field in tears with his boyhood club and current team Santos losing 0-6 to Vasco da Gama, in one of the worst defeats in the team's history. After the game, Neymar expressed his disappointment, saying that he felt extreme shame. Amidst the hurt and tears, he received a heartfelt and comforting message on WhatsApp from his teenage son. Lucca reminded Neymar that no matter what happens, he would never be alone. The message was shared by the latter on his Instagram story. 'Good evening, Dad. I know today was a tough day for you and me, but I want you to know that in these difficult moments, when no one else is by your side, you should know that I will always be here by your side to support you," Lucca wrote. 'You are more than just an excellent dad; you are an idol, you are my inspiration and even on the days you cry, I want you to know that I love you very much. Always keep that in mind," Lucca added. 'And never give up on your biggest dream because of people who don't even know you or know who you are, because you are capable. Don't take today's defeat as a failure; instead, use it as motivation to always be better than yesterday," Lucca said. In another post on his Instagram story, Neymar expressed sympathy for Santos after the loss to Vasco da Gama, which left them just two places above the relegation zone. 'Santos doesn't deserve this," the story read. Neymar returned to his boyhood club earlier this year after terminating his contract with Saudi Pro League club Al Hilal. Since rejoining the team, he has scored six goals and registered three assists from 21 matches across tournaments. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
