MATCH REPORT

Renato Sanches scored a free-kick as Bayern Munich came from behind to beat Paris Saint-Germain 3-1 in the International Champions Cup.

Both sides were opening their ICC campaigns in Klagenfurt on Saturday and it was the Bundesliga side who came out on top in Niko Kovac's first game in charge.

Timothy Weah - son of George - opened the scoring for PSG in the first half, running on to a Kevin Rimane pass to finish well from inside the penalty area.

But three goals in 18 second-half minutes saw Bayern complete a fine comeback, Javi Martinez nodding in Arjen Robben's corner to get his side level.

Sanches then took advantage of suspect positioning from substitute goalkeeper Remy Descamps to curl in a free-kick and boost his chances of first-team action with Bayern, with teenager Joshua Zirkzee wrapping up the scoring.

Thomas Tuchel's PSG will have a chance to make amends against Arsenal in a week's time, while Bayern's next ICC game is against Serie A champions Juventus on Thursday.
