What an exhilarating matchup! On Friday, June 20, 2025, Bayern Munich triumphed over Boca Juniors in the Group Stage of the FIFA Club World Cup at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, Florida. Bayern Munich has now progressed to the knockout stages of the Club World Cup.
It’s all positive news for the German champions, as Bayern secured their second win in Group C. With 6 points, Bayern has advanced to the round of 16 with a game remaining.
Olise clinched the victory after Miguel Merentiel had put Boca in a position to equalize with a stunning solo goal in the 66th minute.
Bayern, leading the group, took the initiative with Harry Kane’s precise finish in the 18th minute and went on to squander several opportunities before Merentiel’s equalizer.
However, the victory came with a downside. Star German midfielder Jamal Musiala left the game injured just 25 minutes after coming on replacing in the 57th minute Serge Gnabry. Sadly, Musiala was replaced in the 82nd minute by Thomas Müller. The specifics of his injury were not immediately clear. The 22-year-old had been recovering from a torn hamstring during the Bundesliga season.
Boca Juniors still have a shot at advancing, but they must defeat Auckland City on Tuesday and hope Benfica loses to Bayern on the same day.
Stats before the game
Bayern Munich is on a strong streak, having recently triumphed over Auckland City, Hoffenheim, and Borussia Monchengladbach, extending their unbeaten run to eight games. Their spirits are high following a historic 10-0 victory against Auckland City!
In contrast, Boca Juniors comes into this match after a defeat to Independiente in the Liga Profesional Play Offs on May 19. Their defense has been inconsistent, allowing goals in their last four away games consecutively.
