WHO else but Harry Kane to help break the hearts of 60,000 Argies?
The skipper was at his lethal best in Miami last night, rifling in a trademark finish on 18 minutes to silence the vast majority of a packed Hard Rock Stadium.
Miguel Merentiel’s brilliant 66th minute leveller sparked wild scenes of celebration.
But with just five minutes remaining, you could almost hear a pin drop as former ace was teed up by before sliding home the winner to stun the South Americans.
It puts the phenomenally supported on the brink of an embarrassing premature exit – and the fact it was an Englishman who sent them hurtling towards an early flight home will surely have increased their pain.
Boca certainly brought the noise – the atmosphere was absolutely tremendous – but Bayern had the clinical efficiency needed to cement their place in the Club World Cup knockout stages.

And, of course, it was King Kane who set the German champs on their way with his 39th goal of the season.
The equally impressive Kingsley Coman set the former hitman free, and the left-foot finish was typically razor sharp.
Vincent Kompany’s men should have been home and hosed by half-time – Olise had a ninth minute effort chalked off before he almost rounded Boca keeper Agustin Marchesin on 31 minutes to increase Bayern’s lead.
was finally called into action on 34 minutes, fisting away Kevin Zenon’s close range effort, yet the German powerhouse were in firm control.
Miami boasts a huge Argentinian community while thousands had also flown in from Buenos Aires to see their heroes in yellow and blue mix it with the European giants.
Their fans were incredible. Yet no matter how loud they sang, it wasn’t enough to push them over the line.
All looked lost. But then, almost out of nowhere, Merentiel powered in on goal, coolly flicked the ball past center-back Josip Stanisic and sweetly curled in to spark absolute mayhem in the stands.
Boca believed. Hard Rock Stadium was bouncing.
Yet the excellent Olise, set up by the tireless Kane, had the last laugh with his neatly taken 85th minute winner.
While Bayern – who smashed 10 goals past hapless Auckland City in the first game with Kane somehow not on the scoresheet – booked their place in the last 16, Boca now need to beat the Kiwis heavily on Tuesday and hope are downed by the Germans.
Kane reckons his champions are one of the teams to beat here and said: “It’s a massive tournament, we’re playing against the best teams in the world. We’ve always said it’s us against us.
“We have to compete to our highest level and we should be able to beat most teams. So far, so good in this competition.”;
