Harry Kane scores double – including brilliant long-range strike – as Bayern Munich win six-goal thriller against Flamengo to reach Club World Cup quarter-finals

Harry Kane scored two goals as Bayern Munich beat Flamengo 4-2 on Sunday to book a place in the quarter-finals of the FIFA Club World Cup.

His first was a superb left-footed strike from long range, which put his side 2-0 up in the ninth minute after an Erick Pulgar own goal had given Bayern an early lead.

Kane then bagged again in the second half, this time with his right foot, after Leon Goretzka had also found the net.

Flamengo twice pulled goals back to close to within one of Bayern, first through Gerson and then courtesy of a penalty kick converted by former Chelsea and Arsenal midfielder Jorginho.

But the German champions rarely looked in danger.

Bayern will now face Paris Saint-Germain in the quarter-finals, after the Champions League winners thrashed Inter Miami 4-0 earlier on Sunday.

Kane’s first goal of the game was a thing of beauty.

The England captain collected the ball on the turn midway inside the Flamengo half. He then rode what appeared to be foul by a Flamengo player before smashing home a low shot via the inside of the post from 23 yards.

Kane has now scored 41 goals in his second season with Bayern, having hit 44 in his first campaign with the German giants.

The 31-year-old was denied the chance to complete the ninth hat-trick of his Bayern career when he was substituted off in added time.

But Kane still left the Hard Rock Stadium with the Superior Player of the Match award.

The England captain later doubled his tally with a powerful strike using his favoured right boot
