Bayern Munich triumphs in a "risky encounter," expressing concern over Musiala's performance and future involvement.
Unleashing the Bayern Beast: Club World Cup Domination and the Dangerous Game Against Boca
Got a hankerin' for some futbol? Well, strap in, pardner! FC Bayern's on a roll at the Club World Cup, and things are gettin' heated. After a 10-0 jump-start against Auckland, they bagged a 2-1 victory over Boca Juniors, but damn if it ain't been a long, hairy ride.
With a 2:1 win against the passionate Argentinians, Bayern secured their spot in the round of 16. But they'd better watch their backs - Chelsea, Flamengo, or Tunis could be knockin' on their door. Benfica Lisbon's still in their sights for the group stage, set for Saturday (21:00 CEST/Sat.1 and DAZN).
Harry Kane kicked off the show in the 18th minute, but Boca managed to equalize in a heated atmosphere through Miguel Merentiel (66.). Michael Olise shut 'em up with a counter (84.), puttin' the bayin' crowd to sleep. "It was a terrific performance from us," Kane grinned on DAZN, but there was a bit of a wince - injury's finally caught up with Jamal Musiala, who had to pull out just before the end. The young star only just returned from a long break before the World Cup, leavin' everyone a mite concerned.
The game against Boca didn't go smoothly; FC Bayern dominated, but missed chance after chance. Still, the Argentine champions were rarely dangerous, and Bayern stayed on top even after the break, albeit with some wobblin'. Thankfully, Olise's goal put things right.
The defending champions know they're in for a tough battle against Benfica. "We're greedy and aimin' for nine points to enter the knockout phase," declared Manuel Neuer. "We ain't gonna give in to any provocations."
