Viking punishes a slow Bayern start
Bayern Munich recovered from a two-goal deficit but could not hold the lead in a 3-3 Champions League draw at Viking Stavanger on October 13. Gianni Stensness headed the Norwegian side in front from Zlatko Tripić’s early corner, and Peter Christiansen added a second before halftime after Viking exploited a turnover and attacked quickly. Bayern controlled much of the possession but reached the interval facing a substantial upset. Goalkeeper Jonas Urbig started in place of the injured Manuel Neuer. [1] [2] [3]
Kane and Díaz turn the match
Vincent Kompany made three changes at halftime, and Bayern’s response arrived quickly. Harry Kane converted a penalty in the 54th minute after Konrad Laimer was fouled, then headed in Joshua Kimmich’s cross six minutes later. Luis Díaz completed the comeback in the 71st minute, finishing a move that Kane helped launch and Laimer carried into the penalty area. The three-goal burst appeared to have rescued Bayern from its poor first half and underlined its attacking depth. [1] [2] [3]
Late equalizer denies the visitors
The balance shifted again when Michael Olise received two yellow cards in rapid succession and was dismissed in the 74th minute. Viking pressed against 10 men, and Herman Johan Haugen headed in Tripić’s cross in the final minute to secure a point. German reporting credited Bayern with a large edge in possession and shots, but those advantages did not erase its vulnerability to set pieces and transitions. Bayern left with four points from its first two league-phase matches, while Viking’s draw provided a high-profile result against one of the competition’s leading clubs. The result also turned Olise’s disciplinary lapse into a central post-match issue. [1] [3]
