Danilo scored the only goal of the game as Real Madrid rounded off their International Champions Cup campaign with a 1-0 victory over Bayern Munich at the MetLife Stadium.

The Brazilian’s stunning strike on 79 minutes proved to be the winner in a rather lifeless match watched by over 82,000 people.

He had only been on the pitch over quarter-of-an-hour when he smashed in the opening goal from 25 yards on his weaker foot.

It was no more than Zinedine Zidane’s side deserved after a dominant second-half performance.

Bayern had controlled the first period but couldn't find a way past Kiko Casilla. Thiago Alcantara came closest with a curled effort forcing the goalkeeper into a fantastic save on the half-hour mark.

Armed with a number of substitutions early in the second-half, Los Blancos stepped up a gear and finished the match strongly.

It is Real’s second win from three games in the pre-season tournament having lost to Paris St Germain followed by a 3-2 victory over Chelsea. They now turn their attention to Sevilla who they face in the UEFA Super Cup on August 9.

The European champions inflict a first friendly defeat on Bayern who will be disappointed with their overall performance in New Jersey.
