Nine straight matches without a loss had been achieved by teams from South America in the World Championship for club teams in the USA. But when Argentine Boca Juniors faced German champion Bayern Munich, the streak ended.
Bayern dominated more than the result showed and after the first half it was "only" 1–0 to the German champion. It was a self-critical Harry Kane who met the press.
We should actually have had a 2–0 or 3–0 lead, he said after the match.
Kane himself scored Bayern's first goal when he in the 18th minute found his way past Agustin Marchesin in Boca Juniors' goal.
Boca equalized through Miguel Merentiel, then it took until the 84th match minute before Michael Olise could silence the many traveling Argentine fans.
It felt like an away match out there, their fans were very loud. It made the win even better, since it feels like a nice away win, said Harry Kane.
Bayern is clearly through to the round of 16 after two initial wins.
