Harry Kane Leads Bayern Past Boca in a Fierce Club World Cup Showdown
So here's what went down in Miami last night—it was intense, physical, and absolutely electric. Bayern Munich took on Boca Juniors in a Group C clash at the 2025 Club World Cup, and it had everything: grit, goals, drama, and of course, Harry Kane being Harry Kane. The match ended 2-1 in favor of Bayern, and that result sends them into the knockout stages, but not without taking a few bruises along the way.
From the very beginning, this had the feel of a big one. The Hard Rock Stadium was bouncing—full house, passionate fans from both sides, red, blue, and yellow flooding the stands. A rare 9pm kickoff meant the Florida heat had just started to simmer down, but the atmosphere inside was anything but cool. You could feel the tension and anticipation in the air.

Boca came into this match with a clear plan: make it difficult, make it physical. Their defender, Lautaro Di Lollo, even joked pre-match that he was “going to kill” Kane—probably kidding, but after what we saw on the pitch, you wouldn’t have known it. Kane was on the floor more times than he’d probably like to remember, but he still delivered. On the 18th minute, he capitalized on a deflected cross, controlled it (kind of), and slotted it in with that trademark calmness. One-nil Bayern.
Bayern were cruising in terms of possession—74% at one point—completely dominating the midfield with Kimmich and Goretzka pulling the strings. But Boca didn’t go quietly. They fought, they defended with their bodies, and when they broke, they broke fast. It paid off. In the 67th minute, Miguel Merentiel scored a beauty of an equalizer after a sharp counterattack. He glided past Jonathan Tah and dinked it past Neuer. The Boca end erupted—fans going wild, drinks flying, pure South American passion.
But Bayern had the final word. With seven minutes to go, Harry Kane—who else?—nudged a clever little pass to Michael Olise amid chaos in the box, and Olise kept his composure to slide in the winner. That was it. Game, set, match.
For Boca, the dream’s not dead—they’ll face Auckland City next and hope for a goal-fest, while also crossing their fingers that Bayern do the job against Porto. But for now, Bayern are through. Kane’s the man of the match, as expected, and European pride is intact with their first win over a South American side in this edition of the tournament.
If this match is anything to go by, the Club World Cup is finally living up to the hype.
