Lightning Start from Bayern
Bayern wasted no time asserting their dominance. In the 6th minute, Erick Pulgar inadvertently headed Joshua Kimmich’s corner into his own net, giving Bayern an early lead. Just three minutes later, Harry Kane doubled the advantage, collecting the ball on the edge of the box and rifling a low shot off the post and in.
Flamengo, stunned by the early blitz, regrouped and responded in the 33rd minute. Captain Gerson unleashed a thunderous left-footed strike from outside the box, beating Neuer and igniting the Brazilian crowd.
Goretzka Restores Control, Flamengo Fight Back
Bayern restored their two-goal cushion in the 41st minute when Leon Goretzka’s long-range effort wrong-footed goalkeeper AgustÃn Rossi, making it 3-1 at halftime. But Flamengo refused to fold.
In the 54th minute, Jorginho converted a penalty after a VAR review penalized Michael Olise for handball, cutting the deficit to 3-2. Flamengo surged forward, delivering a
barrage of crosses into the Bayern box—but Manuel Neuer stood tall, making key saves to deny Luiz Araújo and Bruno Henrique.
Kane Seals It, Neuer Secures It
With Flamengo pushing for an equalizer, Bayern struck again. In the 73rd minute, Kane latched onto a Kimmich through-ball and calmly slotted home his second of the night, sealing the win and taking his tournament tally to three goals. Despite late pressure, Neuer’s command of the box and aerial dominance neutralized Flamengo’s wide threat. The veteran keeper made six saves and claimed multiple crosses, earning praise for his leadership and reflexes.
