Bayern Munich suffered a frustrating result in the UEFA Champions League, as they were held to a 3-3 draw by Viking after a chaotic closing period. Despite an impressive comeback that saw the German giants overcome a two-goal deficit to take a 3-2 lead, a late red card shifted the momentum, allowing the hosts to snatch a point.
The match began poorly for the visitors, who conceded just 72 seconds into the game when Giani Stennes headed home from a corner. Viking continued to dominate early proceedings and doubled their lead in the 38th minute through a goal from Peter Christiansen, leaving Bayern trailing by two goals at the halftime interval.
Bayern responded with intensity after the break. They were awarded a penalty early in the second half following a foul on Konrad Laimer, which Harry Kane converted to narrow the gap. The English captain leveled the score at 2-2 in the 60th minute, expertly heading in a cross from Joshua Kimmich. The visitors soon completed their turnaround when Luis Diaz scored from an opportunity set up by a clever chip from Kane, pushing the scoreline to 3-2 in favor of the Bundesliga side.
However, the tide turned in the 74th minute when Michael Olise was sent off. After receiving a yellow card for a foul, the French winger threw the ball at the face of Viking captain Zlatko Tripic. The referee responded immediately by issuing a second yellow card, forcing Bayern to navigate the final 16 minutes of regulation time with ten men.
Viking capitalized on their numerical advantage as the match entered its final moments. In the dying seconds, Harman Haugen found the back of the net to secure a 3-3 draw, leaving Bayern to settle for a single point despite their earlier efforts to reclaim the match.
