The match began with Bayern capitalizing on an early miscue: just six minutes in, Erick Pulgar turned a corner into his own net to hand Bayern an initial advantage . Harry Kane quickly doubled the lead with a precise low strike that bounced off the post into the net .
Despite Bayern’s fast start, Flamengo responded through Gerson’s long-range effort in the 15th minute, pulling one back . Leon Goretzka restored Bayern’s two-goal cushion on the stroke of halftime with a spectacular long-range strike that left goalkeeper Agustín Rossi flat-footed .
Flamengo persisted, earning a penalty early in the second half after Michael Olise was penalised for handball; Jorginho converted, making it 3‑2 . However, Bayern quelled the comeback threat when Kane scored his second in the 73rd minute—finishing expertly from Joshua Kimmich’s pass to restore two-goal supremacy .
Kane, now with 40 goals for the season—his 40th and 41st overall across all competitions—became the first Englishman to score 40+ goals in multiple top-five European leagues, reaching this feat for the third time .
The victory sets up a high-profile quarter-final clash against reigning Champions League winners Paris Saint‑Germain, who earlier thrashed Inter Miami 4‑0 .
