Viking FK fought back late to deny Bayern Munich victory after Harry Kane inspired a second-half comeback in a thrilling UEFA Champions League encounter.
Viking FK held Bayern Munich to a dramatic 3-3 draw on Tuesday night, October 13, 2026, after scoring a late equaliser in a pulsating Champions League league-phase clash at Lyse Arena in Stavanger, Norway.
The hosts made a dream start when Gianni Stensness headed home in the second minute before Peter Christiansen doubled Viking’s advantage in the 38th minute, leaving the German giants facing an unexpected two-goal deficit at half-time.
Bayern responded strongly after the break, with England captain Harry Kane scoring twice in the 54th and 60th minutes to bring the visitors level and revive their hopes of securing all three points.
Luis Díaz then completed Bayern’s comeback in the 71st minute, firing the visitors into a 3-2 lead and seemingly putting Vincent Kompany’s side on course for victory.
However, the match took another dramatic turn when Michael Olise was sent off after receiving a second yellow card in the 74th minute, leaving Bayern to defend their narrow advantage with ten men.
Viking capitalised on their numerical advantage, with Herman Haugen scoring a last-gasp equaliser in the 90th minute to spark celebrations among the home supporters and secure a memorable point against one of Europe’s biggest clubs.
The result will be a frustrating setback for Bayern, who had recovered from a two-goal deficit but failed to hold on after Olise’s dismissal.
For Viking, the draw represents an impressive result against elite opposition, demonstrating the Norwegian side’s resilience and ability to punish defensive lapses.
Bayern will now look to regroup ahead of their next Champions League assignment as they seek to maintain their challenge in the competition, while Viking will take confidence from a performance that delivered a memorable European night for their supporters.
