Kane brace lifts Bayern past Flamengo
Harry Kane scored twice as Bayern Munich saw off Flamengo 4-2 to set up a heavyweight clash with Paris Saint-Germain at the Club World Cup.
Kane netted the final goal of a thrilling contest at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, as Bayern fended off its Brazilian opponent.
It looked set to be a serene afternoon for Bayern in Florida when Kane arrowed in a left-footed strike in off the post to make it 2-0 to Vincent Kompany's team in the ninth minute.
Erick Pulgar, who later had to be taken off on a stretcher, had given Bayern the lead with an own goal six minutes in.
Yet Flamengo responded brightly, and after Manuel Neuer made a superb save to deny Luiz Araujo, captain Gerson lashed in an unstoppable drive in the 33rd minute.
Leon Goretzka netted with an equally brilliant long-range effort eight minutes later, but Bayern's lead was cut again early in the second half.
Michael Olise handled in the area, and former Arsenal midfielder Jorginho coolly dispatched the resulting penalty.
Kane, though, restored Bayern's two-goal cushion, guiding a crisp finish into the bottom-right corner to see the Bundesliga champion into the quarter-finals.
