Flamengo 2-4 Bayern Munich
Goals: 0-1 Pulgar 6' (o.g.), 0-2 Kane 9' (assist: Upamecano), 1-2 Gerson 33' (assist: de Arrascaeta), 1-3 Goretzka 41', 2-3 Jorginho pen. 54', 2-4 Kane 74' (assist: Kimmich)
With heavy hitters including Kane, Joshua Kimmich and Michael Olise recalled after beginning the group-ending loss to Benfica on the bench, Bayern needed just six minutes to break the deadlock in Miami. Kimmich's shot was deflected behind for a corner taken by the Bayern midfielder and inadvertently put past his own goal by Flamengo's Erick Pulgar.
It got better still for the record German champions with nine minutes on the clock. Dayot Upamecano won back possession and threaded a pass through to Kane, who nestled an 18-yard shot into the bottom corner with the aid of a deflection.
Manuel Neuer made a quite brilliant one-handed save to deny Luiz Araújo at point-blank range, but a determined Flamengo kept coming. Léo Pereira and Araújo fired off warning shots, before Gerson took advantage of some uncertain defending to thunder a rising drive high past Neuer.
Bayern's response was immediate as Olise fed Konrad Laimer for a teasing cross that was punched clear by Agustín Rossi. Laimer got in behind moments later, forcing a panicked clearance straight onto the chest of Leon Goretzka, who followed up an immaculate piece of control with an unerring finish from fully 25 yards.
The pendulum swung again early in the second half after Olise was penalised for handling a cross in the Bayern area. Jorginho calmly converted the ensuing spot-kick, the veteran midfielder sending Neuer the wrong way to pull his side back to within one goal of the 2024/25 Bundesliga winners.
Flamengo threatened an equaliser, but substitute Bruno Henrique could only poke wide when faced with the on-rushing Neuer. It proved a costly miss as Kane restored Bayern's two-goal advantage with a neat turn and tidy strike from inside the penalty box with 16 minutes of normal time remaining.
Wallace Yan headed over for Flamengo and Bayern susbtitute Leroy Sané fired at Rossi when one-on-one as Vincent Kompany's side went through 4-2 winners. The Bavarians will play PSG at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia on 5 July (12pm EDT/ 6pm CEST).

FINAL
Bayern
90' +7
vs
Sané could seal it!
An outrageous pass from Kimmich dissects the Flamengo defence and sends Sané through on goal, one-on-one with the keeper. As was the case against Benfica though, Sané's aim is off and he shoots straight at the goalkeeper.
90' +4
vs
Over from De la Cruz
Sané gives away a free-kick just outside the Bayern box. De la Cruz takes it but his strike deflects off the wall and goes out for a corner.

Running the clock down
Bayern are keeping possession, forcing Flamengo to chase after the ball.

Tactical foul
Musiala stops a Flamengo attack from developing and goes into the referee's book for his troubles.

vs
Chance to seal it!
Bayern break forward and Olise releases Sané down the left. He returns the ball to the France international, who tries to find another pass instead of shooting. That should have been a fifth for Bayern there.
84'
vs
Striker's tackle
Kane tracks back, sprinting half the length of the pitch to try and clear the danger but his tackle is mistimed and he goes into the book.

Working smart
With a two-goal cushion again, Bayern are playing keep-ball, happy to keep possession and force Flamengo to come at them and tire themselves out.
75'
vs
Cooling break
Arguably not what Bayern wanted with momentum on their side following Kane's goal, but there's a break in play for drinks amid the intense humidity.
72'
vs
Fresh ideas
Flamengo's intensity has dropped somewhat so Kompany will try to take advantage, bringing on playmaker supreme Musiala for Gnabry.

Another chance for Sane!
A sweeping move from Bayern as they work the ball from right to left. Kane slips in Sané down the left but he can't get the ball under control in time to shoot, instead trying to cut it back for Kane - but a defender intercepts.
68'
vs
Swing and a miss
Kane darts into space down the right and pings a low cross into the middle. Sané tries to shoot first time on his weaker right foot but doesn't connect with the ball.
65'
vs
Chance for Henrique!
Stanišić keeps Henrique onside as he chases a long ball forward. Neuer races off his line to intercept but the Flamengo substitute gets there first, flicking the ball around the goalkeeper and watching it bobble just wide of the post.
65'
vs
Joshua Kimmich
63'
vs
Wide from Kane
Olise curls the ball into the box and finds Kane, who heads wide under pressure. The assistant referee raises his flag for offside, so it wouldn't have counted if he had scored anyway.
62'
vs
Free-kick for Bayern
Sané is brought down by Wesley, giving Bayern a free-kick on the right-hand corner of the Flamengo box...
58'
vs
Double change from Kompany
Goretzka, who is on a yellow card, is replaced by Pavlović while Coman limps off with an injury. He's replaced by Sané in what is likely to be his last match for Bayern before he officially joins Galatasaray at the beginning of July.

Penalty to Flamengo!
Olise inadvertently blocks a cross from the right with his hand - which is in an unnatural, outstretched position. The referee points to the spot straight away!
52'
vs
Digging in
Flamengo are working up a head of steam here as they look for a way back into the game. Bayern are on the back foot and concede a corner from Araújo's deflected shot from outside the box.
50'
vs
Over the bar!
De Arrascaeta takes the set piece and goes for goal. It'll take something incredible to beat Neuer from there and his effort is... not.
49'
vs
Dangerous location
Goretzka fouls Wesley about 30 yards from goal, right of centre. It's a great position for a free-kick...
47'
vs
Next goal wins?
That's certainly the vibe the first half gave off. If Bayern get a fourth, you suspect that'll be the knockout blow. But if Flamengo pull one back and get the wind in their sails again, it's anyone's guess.
46'

Here we go again
No changes from either side at the interval as Flamengo get the second half up and running.

37'
vs
Bayern probing
Patient build-up from the Bundesliga champions against Flamengo, who have every outfield player behind the ball. That all changes when the ball is fed to Olise on the right. A shift of weight, a change of pace and he's suddenly behind the defence before passing to Laimer, whose cross is punched clear.
32'
vs
Next chance!
Flamengo have been getting forward well since the resumption of play and they get their next sight of goal as Araújo gets to a ball inside the box ahead of Stanišić, but his left-footed shot goes wide.
29'
vs
Back under way
A break that lasted a little longer than usual as the referee needed some equipment replacing.
25'
vs
Cooling break
There's a break in play to allow players and officials the chance to have a drink.
23'
vs
Pereira has a go
The Flamengo defender lines up a shot from 25 yards out but he slices his left-footed drive and it goes well off target.
